In these years, the Bcci has grown from a body struggling to survive to becoming a financial behemoth — the richest cricket board in the world that controls more than 50 per cent of worldwide revenues.
During these 90-plus years of existence, the Bcci has grown into a financial monolith and the most-powerful cricket board in the world because of the efforts of people like Inderjit Singh Bindra (Is Bindra), Jagmohan Dalmiya, Nkp Salve, Sharad Pawar and N Srinivasan. Their reigns not only helped cricket grow into the No. 1 sport in the country but also helped Bcci become the most powerful cricket organisation in the world, weaning away the power from old guards England and Australia.
These periods were also marred by several controversies and re-alignments as they remained the power centres for many years, becoming the head honchos at the Icc before things fell apart.
