However, post the aforementioned part of his tweet, Ganguly also went on to add that he is ‘planning to start something’ that might help a lot of people, while also requesting them to support him as he enters this chapter of his life.
It is the last line of the piece of text that was picked up by the people on social media, which perhaps was an intimation enough that the former Indian team skipper has made up his mind to step down from the Indian Cricket team board’s Presidency post.
