‘It’s up to you all to judge my legacy’: Ganguly on his run as BCCI president
Like his time as captain of the Indian cricket team, Sourav Ganguly’s tenure as BCCI president has been full of ups and downs. Under Ganguly, India conducted their first ever day/night test, while the women’s team tested in England and Australia, including a pink ball match under lights. Additionally, one of the biggest hurdles facing the BCCI is going on the IPL in the midst of a pandemic, which Ganguly has not only addressed, but twice hosted the world’s largest T20 league in the UAE. However, Ganguly’s appointment as BCCI president continued to receive mixed reactions from the public.
With Ganguly’s three-year tenure as head of the BCCI set to come to an end later this year around September-October, the former India captain said he could not yet say what legacy he would leave behind. Instead, Ganguly let the public decide whether the 49-year-old passed or failed as BCCI president.
“I don’t think it’s more challenging. What’s my legacy? Well, I can’t tell it right now. Let’s see what happens. It’s up to you guys to judge my legacy, it’s what it is. But in the past two years It’s been a tough year because of Covid-19. The pandemic has wreaked havoc all over the world and we’re lucky we’re still able to get most of the cricket done,” Ganguly told Reuters in an interview. Sportstar.
Ganguly’s biggest setback as BCCI chief was his alleged clash with former India captain Virat Kohli. The whole thing started when Kohli, who resigned as India’s T20I captain, was also removed from the ODI captaincy. To make matters worse, Kohli and Ganguly’s conflicting take on how Virat’s decision to step down as India’s T20I captain was accepted by the board. While Ganguly said he and the BCCI had asked Kohli to stay on the job, the former captain said otherwise.
This results in a back-and-forth roll of the dice. The whole thing snowballed and culminated in Kohli’s resignation as India Test captain after the team’s 1-2 Test series win against South Africa, meaning he was no longer in charge of any team. Many believe Kohli’s decision to step down as India Test captain has something to do with the board’s dismissal of him as ODI captain. The chapter saw another twist when reports surfaced that Ganguly was about to give Kohli a cause-of-show notice but was prevented from doing so, although the BCCI president has completely denied any such reports.
