His post read, "I have been getting a lot of questions about my previous post. For a while, I have been thinking about one group of people that has been helping our society selflessly and making India greater every day.

IPL gave us amazing players but what inspires me, even more, is the amount of sweat and blood the coaches of all these players put in for their success. This is not just true for Cricket, but all the other fields like Academics, Football, Music, etc as well. I am fortunate to get all the coaches who made me what I am today.

For ages, we have been glorifying actors, players, and successful CEOs for the remarkable work they have done. It is time that we glorify the true heroes, their COACHES and EDUCATORS.

I want to do something for all the coaches, educators, and teachers across the world. Starting today, I will actively work to support all of them by being their ambassador.

I am thankful to Classplus for helping me with my vision. I hope this new initiative helps them all :)", the former Indian skipper wrote in a series of tweets.

Thus, Ganguly has finally managed to put an end to all kinds of rumours which had surfaced online after his cryptic tweet left netizens baffled on Wednesday. Many were contemplating his resignation as BCCI President and had anticipated his debut in Indian politics.
