One of India's most decorated captains Sourav Ganguly, affectionately known as Dada (meaning "elder brother" in Bengali), took over as the 39th President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) during its Annual General Meeting in Mumbai today. The election also means that the 33-month reign of Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) came to an end.
Ganguly is a unanimous choice for BCCI President’s post with Jay Shah, Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s son, taking charge as Secretary and Mahim Verma of Uttarakhand as the new Vice-President.
