Cheteshwar Pujara became the second fastest Indian to get 1,000 Test runs. He has so far played 15 tests for India making 1,310 runs with an impressive average of 65.50.

Saurashtra Cricket Association chief Niranjan Shah, who has been unceremoniously dumped from the post of vice-president by Srinivasan put up a brave face in front of mediapersons. "It is a democratic process and you go by what the majority thinks," Shah said when asked about his ouster.

Board of Control for Cricket in India sources reveal that Cricket Association of Bengal objected to Ranjib Biswal's position as Board treasurer. After some last-minute trading, that resulted in two Bengal officials grabbing fairly important positions, Biswal was accepted as IPL chairman.

Sudhir Dabir, vice President from the central zone and his west zone colleague Niranjan Shah were removed from their positions even though both were eligible for extension. MCA president Ravi Savant replaced Shah from west zone, while senior Congress leader and union minister Rajiv Shukla took Dabir's position from the central zone.

N. Srinivasan has chosen his 'cabinet' as the Tamil Nadu strongman seeks a year's extension as BCCI president in the Board's Annual General Meeting in Chennai on Sunday. Rajeev Shukla, Ravi Savant and S.K. Bansal will be the new vice-presidents replacing Sudhir Dabir, Niranjan Shah and Arun Jaitley, respectively.

The disciplinary committee included DDCA president and leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley, president N Srinivasan and senior vice-president Niranjan Shah.

The probe report says that no evidence of spot-fixing has been found against Rajasthan Royals' co-owner Raj Kundra and Gurunath Meiyappan, the son-in-law of N Srinivasan.

Srinivasan, whose company India Cements owns CSK, refused to resign despite repeated calls for his ouster, insisting that he did no wrong.

N Srinivasan says three new stadiums have been constructed and praises Gujarat for "leading" the nation on various fronts.

Constructed at a cost of around Rs 75 crore, the stadium is spread over 5.50 lakh sq ft area on Rajkot-Jamnagar highway near Khandheri.
