If reports are to be believed, then Sourav Ganguly was shown doors after Cricket Board expressed their disappointment over his performance as BCCI President. Former India captain will not be reappointed as BCCI president in the upcoming elections on October 18. Most likely former experienced all-rounder Roger Binny will take over as the new president.
The entire board including Sourav Ganguly was recently granted a second straight term by the Supreme Court. Ganguly was the first former cricketer who took up the role of BCCI president in 2019. But seems like board believes that he will be unable to benefit Indian Cricket.
Reports also suggest that Sourav Ganguly was also harshly rebuked during a recent meeting of board officials in Delhi. The BCCI President was criticized for failing to do the right thing as president, and thus path of him becoming president was blocked.
The biggest faliure of Sourab Ganguly’s career as the BCCI president will also be his fallout with Virat Kohli. For the unversed, after T20 World Cup 2020, Kohli wanted to step down as the T20 captain to shed some burden but continue as the ODI and test skipper.
But as several former cricketers like World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly also believed that split captaincy won’t work in India and hence he asked Kohli to step down as ODI captaincy also. But when Kohli refused to do so, the former skipper was sacked from the captaincy and Rohit Sharma was appointed as the new captain the white ball formats.
There was no proper farewell for Kohli as a captain and neither was he happy of agreeing with the decision. Moreover, removing him from the Indian captaincy over a tweet didn’t go well the fans as well and since then, Sourav Ganguly has been having a tough time as the BCCI president.

Moreover, after such fallout with BCCI, Virat Kohli also stepped down from Test captaincy in January 2022. What seemed more shocking was that Ganguly feared that split captaincy might affect the team badly and hence having two captains would be a shame. But ever since Kohli stepped down from captaincy from all formats and Rohit Sharma became the regular captain, India has had eight captains in several tours.
