The International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman, Jay Shah, honored the late Inderjit Singh Bindra, also known as I.S. Bindra, who passed away at 84. Bindra, who led the BCCI from 1993 to 1996, was a prominent figure in Indian cricket administration and headed the Punjab Cricket Association for over three decades. In 2015, the PCA Stadium in Mohali was renamed the I.S. Bindra Stadium in acknowledgment of his contributions.
Bindra, besides his administrative roles, significantly impacted cricket management and infrastructure locally and globally. He was vocal about governance in Indian cricket, particularly criticizing N. Srinivasan and the BCCI’s handling of the IPL 2013 corruption scandal. His efforts, alongside Jagmohan Dalmiya, in recognizing the commercial potential of television rights in the 1990s helped India establish a strong presence in world cricket.
Known for his role in securing major ICC events in India, Bindra was a key advisor to the ICC President, showcasing his importance in cricket administration on a global scale.
