BCCI President Sourav Ganguly earlier took to Instagram to give fans some fitness tips. However, he was hilariously trolled by former teammate Sachin Tendulkar for skipping training sessions during their cricket days. Ganguly shared a picture of himself meditating on a cold morning. Sachin Tendulkar loved Ganguly’s post and praised him by calling him ‘Dadi’.

Sourav Ganguly was quick to react to Sachin Tendulkar’s comment. Calling Tendulkar a fitness freak, Ganguly thanked him and asked him to recall the old training sessions. That turned out to be Ganguly's mistake as the master blaster reminded him of his skipping days.

Sachin Tendulkar said that all their former team members knew how much Ganguly enjoyed training (especially ‘Skipping’).
