Sourav Ganguly gave a very good answer when he was asked about the members of his Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) team. It so happened that during an interview with a news channel, Ganguly was asked who the Tendulkar, Dravid, and Kumble of his BCCI team are to which he replied that everyone is.

The former Indian skipper said that both Jay Shah (BCCI secretary) and Arun Dhumal (BCCI treasurer)  are there. He also added that all of them work together. At the same time, Ganguly also added that it is very difficult to say who is Tendulkar, Dravid or Kumble and that are very good friends and have all come from different backgrounds. The reigning BCCI President then added that Arun Dhumal runs a school, Jay Shah is a businessman while he is from the cricketing background.
