Birthday Special: BCCI -President Mithun Manhas is different from Sourav Ganguly and Roger in this case
New -delhi, October 11 (IANS). Former cricketer Mithun Manhas was made the new president of BCCI on September 28. He is the 37th elected chairman of the council. Manhas achieved a unique achievement by becoming the president of BCCI. Manhas was a cricketer, but his choice is completely different from the choice of two former presidents Sourav Ganguly and Roger. Manhas, who became the president of BCCI, is a cricketer who never got the chance to play for the Indian cricket team. He is the first player to be drafted, who became the chairman of the board. Manhas’s former board president Roger Binny and Sourav Ganguly have been playing for Indian cricket for a long time. Ganguly’s name is considered the most influential player and the most successful captain of Indian cricket. He played for the Indian team for more than a decade and was the captain of the Indian team for almost five years. While Roger was a member of the Indian team that won the World Cup in 1983. He had an important contribution with ball and bat in making India champion. Mithun Manhas, born on October 12, 1979, originally from Jammu and Kashmir and before becoming the president of BCCI, he was the administrator of Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Board. The new responsibility is a major challenge for Manhas, which has become the president of the Council of Control for Cricket in India without playing a single match for India. Of course, Manhas didn’t get the chance to play for the Indian team, but he was a big name in household cricket. The 45-year-old Manhas played domestic cricket for Delhi and appointed the team for a long time. He was a middle-order batsman and a right arm spider bowler. He also played the role of part -time wicketkeeper. Manhas scored 9,714 runs in 157 first-class matches and scored 27 centuries and 49 half-century. He scored 4,126 runs, including 5 centuries in 130 list A matches and 1,170 runs in 91 T20 matches. He was part of Chennai Super Kings and Pune Warriors in IPL. After retirement from cricket, he was active in the field of coaching and was part of the Gujarat Titans coaching team. BCCI is the richest cricket council in the world. People associated with cricket will keep an eye on the new manhas for its operation, as well as the continued progress of men’s and women’s cricket. –Is Bag Share This Story Tags
