Former Delhi captain Mithun Manhas has been unanimously elected as the new president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The decision was made during the BCCI’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Mumbai on Sunday.

Manhas, a seasoned domestic cricketer and respected figure in Indian cricketing circles, becomes the third consecutive former cricketer to assume the prestigious role, following in the footsteps of Sourav Ganguly and Roger Binny.

He became the 37th president of the Board, succeeding Roger Binny, who stepped down last month after turning 70.

Widely regarded as one of the most consistent performers in India’s domestic circuit, Mithun Manhas has an impressive tally of 9,714 first-class runs with 27 centuries, along with 4,126 runs in List A matches. After retirement, Manhas transitioned into coaching and mentoring roles, working with several IPL teams and state associations.
