Former Indian cricketer Sourav Ganguly is almost at the end of his tenure as the Indian Cricket Board's President. 1983 World Cup Winning player Roger Binny is reported to replace him in this post. However, Ganguly has not lost his wittiness and is willing to joke about the subject.
Ganguly discussed various aspects of his life and revisited some of his favourite memories from his playing and broadcasting careers at a promotional event. Ganguly was shown a video of himself on-air with Rahul Dravid and Harsha Bhogle in one such instance.
Dravid, who shared Ganguly's locker room for the majority of his career, pulled Ganguly's leg, claiming he wasn't fit enough to be bowled consistently. As they did the commentary, Stuart Binny was bowling to Joe Root during an India-England Test. Ganguly cut the anchor after the clip ended to make a humorous comment.
“By the way, that Binny is not Roger Binny. That’s Stuart Binny,” Ganguly said during an event organised by Bandhan Bank. The anchor also got in on the action. "Very important point to make, especially on this day,” he said.

Ganguly previously stated at the same event that he "can't be an administrator forever" and that "rejections" are a part of life. “You can’t play forever. You can’t be an administrator forever, but it’s been fun doing both and seeing both sides of the coin. I will go for bigger things in future,” Ganguly said.
“I was a cricketer’s administrator. Yes, you had to make decisions because there’s so much cricket happening, there’s so much money around. There’s women’s cricket, there’s domestic cricket. Yes, you had to take calls at times as an individual,” he added.
In the meantime, Binny has previously served on the selection committee of the Indian Cricket Board. During his tenure, the inclusion of his son Stuart Binny in the 2015 World Cup squad raised many eyebrows. He is the current president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association.
