With more than 11,000 ODI runs to his name, the left-handed Ganguly was one the nations best one-day international batter. He has led India to 21 victories in 49 tests, making him one of their most successful Test captains to date. With 11 victories, Sourav Ganguly is the most successful test captain from India outside of India. He was elected president of the Indian Cricket Board of Control in October 2019 and has had a not so fortunate run so far.
He has lost the backing of the BCCI’s other board members, and after his term is up, he will no longer serve as the organisation’s head.
The five things he did that precipitated his name and followers premature demise are listed below
Lack of Respect: Lisa Sthalekar, the captain of the Australian women’s team, complained to the BCCI in May 2021 about how the organisation neglected Veda Krishnamurthy when her mother and sister died from COVID-19. She was also dissatisfied that she had not received notification of her dismissal from the cricket board prior to her impending trip to England. as she blatantly stated in her public outburst.
No measures during pandemic: The BCCI attempted to bring the IPL competition back to India in 2021 after the 2020 season was played in the UAE. Even while it was claimed that the league’s system was completely secure and that every player under this system would be safe, it was quickly discovered that a number of people were habitually disregarding the safety standards and facing no consequences as a result.
Irregular Payments: The financial security of the top players was what he was most worried about. But during COVID-19, a few players who made the majority of their money by playing domestic cricket instead received delayed payments, which put them in a difficult situation.
Virat’s Disposal: As seen by both Virat Kohli and Ganguly expressing contrasting views of the BCCI President’s reaction to Kohli’s resignation as the T20I captain, the Indian team’s handling of Kohli’s departure as captain was appalling and disgraceful as stated by experts.
Performance issues : His resignation as president was always inevitable, with the most recent Delhi meeting’s criticism of his performance serving as the final nail in the coffin.
