There’s no denying how much India adores the Men in Blue. If cricket is a religion, then all these cricketers, past, present and future, are pretty much Gods in their own right. And Gods can never make mistakes, right? Let Sourav Ganguly prove you wrong!
So, Dada, as Sourav Ganguly is fondly and reverentially called, may have been casually browsing his Twitter when he suddenly chanced upon a photo of his old teammate, Harbhajan Singh, and his family at the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Satnam Shri waheguru ji 🙏🙏🙏🙏.. sab nu khush te tandrust rakhna malka 🙏🙏🙏 #Blessings #blessed #shukrana 🙏🙏🙏 @Geeta_Basra pic.twitter.com/pTuJQHaY8Q

Beautiful picture, lovely family, no? Sourav Dada thought so too!
Dada replied to the tweet with a sweet little compliment for the little one, and asked Bhajji Paji to give the kid loads of love!
@harbhajan_singh ..beta bahut sundar hai bhajj..bahut pyar dena

Awwwwww, major #FormerWorkBFFs feels, no? But here’s where Dada made a boo-boo!
Sourav Ganguly, God of the Offside, made a teeny-tiny mistake of calling Harbhajan’s ‘beti’ Hinaya his ‘beta’!
It’s a mistake quite easily, and commonly, made when kids are young and dressed in gender neutral clothing. All of us have been there and done that!
But Dada found the sweetest way to make up for his ‘slip of hand’!
Sourav Ganguly tweeted to Harbhajan Singh once more, apologising for the mistake and blaming it on old age, of all things!
@harbhajan_singh ..🙏 maf karna beti bahut sundoor hai..getting old bhajj ..
— Sourav Ganguly (@SGanguly99) November 20, 2017
So cute, Dada!
At the sight of this much adorable mistake and plea for forgiveness, Twitter exploded with reassurances for their Dada!
1. Such nostalgia!
Comments are so adorable. Takes me back to Indian Cricket Family which existed then.

3. Blame the inner Bong!
Dada no probs …….waise bhi in Bengali gender pronunciation is opposite to what it is in Hindi😜😜

4. Chill Dada, why the Dangal?
Dada bhajji paji can say 'Mhari beti chhoro se kam hai ke ' ☺️☺️

5. The best part was when they took Dada’s ‘old age’ remark literally!
Aankhen kamzor ho gayi hain, beta beti!
Dada..aapka kasoor nhn hai..apne specs nhn pehne honge..☺

What do you call a ‘grandfather’ in English?

Thank heavens for Twitter and its users killer sense of humour!
Well, The Turbanator got Sourav Dada‘s message, the real essence of his message about the blessings for his little angel, and sent some love in return for Ganguly’s daughter Sana!
Dada thank you for your blessings..love to Sana.. hope to see u soon😊 https://t.co/2WXrFL9tKz

Personally, I do think the old team needs to meet soon along with their families so Dada can get a refresher in who has a beta and who has a beti!
The heartwarming dialogue and reunion pictures would just be a bonus!
