Anurag Thakur had always stunned the fans and even cricketers with some of his announcements. Earlier, he has stated that he wishes to do away with the word ‘Control’ in the BCCI’s name. He said that he want to change it as ‘Care’ as he wants to care for the fans, players, coaches, selectors, administrators and all the other stakeholders who matter in cricket.
