Gautam Gambhir urges Sourav Ganguly to dissolve DDCA after shocking fight videos go viral

Former India opener Gautam Gambhir has hit out at the Delhi and Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) once again and urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly to dissolve the state association with immediate effect after videos of authorities throwing punches at each other emerged on social media on Sunday. Gautam Gambhir, who retired from cricket last year in December, went on to term DDCA as 'shameless'. Gambhir is currently a Member of Parliament with the ruling party of the country.

In the video that is going viral on social media, DDCA joint secretary Rajan Manchanda is seen involved in a brawl with other officials of the governing body. According to reports, the brawl started after the members couldn't agree on a particular agenda, which was passed without unanimity. Gambhir urged Ganguly to impose sanctions or even life bans on those who caused the ugly fight during an important meeting. The former left-handed batsman tagged Ganguly and Jay Shah, who is the BCCI Secretary and son of India's Home Minister Amit Shah.

If given a chance, he would like to lead DDCA from the front and by example and ready to mantle the role of Presidentship through the duly elected process,'' sources close to Gambhir confirmed to Republic TV on Sunday.
