Bihar Cricket Association president and BJP leader Rakesh Tiwary has also emerged as a potential BCCI president candidate.
His dual role in politics and cricket administration could give him a strong edge in the power race to replace Roger Binny.
Mumbai Cricket Association’s Sanjay Naik is another name who could step up as a strong candidate for the BCCI president position.
Known for his work at the state level, Naik’s management skills and cricket administration background strengthen his chances in the race.
Rajeev Shukla, senior cricket administrator and politician, is one of the strongest contenders for the BCCI president role.
With years of experience as BCCI vice-president and IPL chairman, Shukla’s leadership and political backing make him a frontrunner.
