Current BCCI president, Ganguly was actually referring to Tendulkar’s earlier post in which his former teammate had uploaded a series of pictures and captioned them "Soaking up the Sun" during his time in Melbourne, Australia. Tendulkar had uploaded these pictures when in Australia. He had gone down under to participate in the Bushfire bash cricket match and had coached the Ricky Ponting XI in the charity match.

Ganguly had then reacted to the photos trolled Tendulkar: “Kisi kisi ka kismat acha hai (some are lucky) .. chuttii manate raho (keep holidaying)," said the BCCI chief. Ganguly was pointing towards the fact that as a BCCI head he is bound to oversee administrative affairs while Tendulkar is free and can travel places.

Meanwhile, Tendulkar is one of the five nominations for the Greatest Sporting Moment 20002-2020 Award.
