Talking about cricket, Ganguly's stint as the chief of the Indian Cricket Board ended last year before the 20-20 World Cup 2022. He was replaced by the former Indian pacer and the star of the 1983 World Cup win, Roger Binny. He was also in the controversial headlines at the time in 2021 when former skipper Virat Kohli decided to step down from the captaincy duties of the national side of India.

Now, Dada will be in the new role of Director of Cricket for the Delhi franchise in the upcoming edition of the Indian T20 League.

Recently, he was once again in the headlines after a sting operation ex-chief selector Chetan Sharma went public by a renowned TV channel. In that sting operation, the former chief selector revealed a lot of stunning things between former skipper Virat Kohli and the former Board president Sourav Ganguly at the time the entire Indian cricketing fraternity saw Virat Kohli in a trouble.
