Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly’s appointment as BCCI President seems to have delighted many from the cricketing fraternity. Several former Indian cricketers, who also had played under Ganguly’s leadership, took to social media and congratulated the former skipper on his new role.

Former batsman Virender Sehwag took to Twitter to write, “Congratulations Dada @SGanguly99 Der hai Andher nahi. ”

Apart from Sehwag, here are some former and current cricketers from across the world who wished Dada for his new innings.















Ganguly on Monday had said that “it is a very important time in Indian cricket administration” after filing nomination for the post of BCCI president.

“It is a very important time in the Indian cricket administration because of all that's happened in the last three years. To be in a position where I can make a difference along with the team would be extremely satisfying. Hopefully, in the next few months we can put everything in place and bring back normalcy in Indian cricket,” Ganguly had told reporters.

Ganguly, however, will be able to serve as BCCI president only up to September 2020. He has been holding posts in the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) for the past five years where he currently serves as President. An administrator can only serve six years on the trot.

The BCCI elections are scheduled to be held on October 23 but with Ganguly being the only candidate to file his nomination for the top post of Indian cricket body, he is set to be elected unopposed.
