“The conflict clause stops everyone, A to Z it stops everyone,” Sourav Ganguly said much before becoming the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The former India captain, now leading the richest cricket body, finds himself in conflict zone again. Then, he was cleared of all charges. With less than a month remaining of his ‘official’ stint as BCCI chief, Ganguly is making news for the wrong reasons.
It all started with an innocuous-looking social media post, on Instagram. Ganguly, 47, is considered as one of the upcoming sports administrators in the world and his every step seems a calculated one. But sharing a photo, wearing a T-shirt with a prominent logo of one of the promoters of Delhi Capitals is not one of his smartest moves. Or, was it another calculated risk?
The brand, organisation in question is JSW Sports, the sports arm of the conglomerate JSW Group. It’s one of the co-owners of the Delhi-based Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise. In fact, before becoming BCCI president, Ganguly was one of the mentors along with former Australian captain Ricky Ponting.
