Watch: 'By the way, that's not Roger Binny...': Sourav Ganguly's verbal comment leaves audiences divided

Roger Binny is likely to replace Sourav Ganguly as the new President of BCCI.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly also did not lose his humour, as several reports from earlier this week have suggested that the chances of him getting a second term as BCCI president are slim. It was widely reported that former India player and 1983 World Cup winner Roger Binny is set to replace Ganguly in the role; After a four-year stint in a similar role in the Cricket Association of Bengal, the 50-year-old Ganguly became the BCCI President in 2019.

During a promotional event, Ganguly spoke at length about various aspects of his life and also recalled some of the best memories of his playing and broadcasting career. In one such moment, Ganguly was shown a video of his on-air stint with Rahul Dravid and Harsha Bhogle; Dravid, who shared the dressing room with Ganguly for a large part of the latter's career, pulled Ganguly's leg, saying he was not fit enough to bowl consistently.

As he commented, Stuart Binny was bowling to Joe Root during the India-England Test. When the clip ended, Ganguly cut off the anchor for making abusive remarks.

"By the way, that Binny is not Roger Binny. He's Stuart Binny," Ganguly said during an event organized by Bandhan Bank. The comment immediately sparked laughter from those in the audience.

The anchor also joined the banquet. "Very important point to make, especially on this day," he said.

Earlier, Ganguly had also said on the same incident that he "cannot be an administrator forever" and "rejection" is part of life.

"You can't play forever. You can't be an administrator forever, but it's fun looking at both sides of the coin. I will go for bigger things in the future," Ganguly said on the sidelines of an event.

He said, "I was a cricketer's administrator. Yes you had to take decisions because there is so much cricket happening, there is so much money around. There is women's cricket, there is domestic cricket. Yes you have to call many times as an individual. "
