Kolkata: BCCI president Sourav Ganguly on Friday said he is here to make a difference but added that he asks himself sometimes whether he deserves all that he is getting, on the day he was felicitated by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) here.
“Sometimes I pinch myself that am I really that good to get so much love and affection,” Ganguly said after he was felicitated with a silver salver and bouquet of flowers.
Ganguly on Wednesday became the 39th BCCI president in Mumbai after serving as CAB president for four years.
Pressed for time nowadays, Ganguly said he never thought he would captain India and then also become BCCI president one day.
“I never thought I will captain India one day. then CAB president and now BCCI president at the age of 46. I don’t get much time now but when I sit with a cup of tea, all these come to my mind. What stands out for me is that I have been able to convince so many people that I am good enough.
“I don’t have a formula. It is what I know best and what my heart says. I will do what is good for Indian cricket. It is a huge responsibility. When I finish, I don’t want anybody to say cricketers are only good players and not good administrators,” said Ganguly.
