Sourav Ganguly, who was elected as the 39th president of BCCI in October, immediately sprang into action by organizing India’s first ever Day-Night Test in November and also promised a four-nation tournament with England and Australian cricket boards later on. The performance of the Indian team on the field has also been impeccable in the last year with the Virat Kohli led side winning against South Africa, Bangladesh, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Australia. Naturally, the comparisons of Ganguly the captain and Ganguly the BCCI president cropped up. But Ganguly wasn’t alone. The core of the side that Ganguly led was formed by Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble and him. Is it the same case even in BCCI now?
After completing three months as the BCCI chief, Ganguly was asked about the Tendulkar, Dravid and Kumble of his BCCI team to which the former India captain gave a stunning reply. “Sare hai (Everyone is there), Jay (Shah) is there, Arun (Dhumal) is there, we all work together,” Ganguly told ABP News.
“It’s very difficult to say who is Tendulkar, Dravid or Kumble. We are very good friends and we all come from different backgrounds. Arun runs a school, Jay has his own business and I have a cricket background,” added Ganguly.
