This is a very sad day for Indian cricket. I salute the shrewd businessman and administrator who made BCCI the financial powerhouse of world cricket. As much as he played politics; he was the victim of dirty politics too (from Srini, Pawar etc.). He was a true lover of Bengal, Kolkata and Eden Gardens. It was good to see him coming back to power lately; but by this time he lost much of his physical and mental strength that we knew him for especially between 1996 and 2003.
RIP Dalmiya
RIP Dalmiya

"He copped a lot of criticism in Australia from the administrators and I think it was because he outsmarted them over the 1996 World Cup and got it to the sub-continent."
"We had a big meeting once in Kolkata, a whole lot of ex-players and we talked about having a World Test Championship, and some very good ideas came forward. I think if Jaggu had stayed on a bit longer as ICC president, I'm sure today there would be a World Test Championship."
