There was nothing but high praise for Prof Ratnakar Shetty, the veteran cricket administrator, whose book On Board, My Years in BCCI was released at the Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday.
Former India captain and ex-chairman of selectors, Dilip Vengsarkar called Shetty an encyclopaedia of Indian cricket administration. “His passion and honesty for the game have helped him to take 100 per cent correct decisions. He was always punctual and ready to help. His focus was on the job and was always well-prepared. He got immense respect from cricketers, which is quite rare as cricketers are not very fond of administrators. It’s because of his love for cricketers [that he got so much respect].
