Srinivasan to become ICC chief, thanks to Jagan?

That N Srinivasan is back in the BCCI is by now national news. Yesterday’s images of him walking into the Cricket Centre holding Sourav Ganguly’s hand bear testimony to this.

What most don’t know though is that Srinivasan couldn’t have earned the endorsement of his past and present colleagues, especially after the controversy that bubbled over his IPL team, without one young and influential friend.

The buzz is that chief minister of Andhra Pradesh Jaganmohan Reddy leveraged his political clout to bring his friend and business partner back in the reckoning.

We hear that ever since Reddy spoke to two most powerful political figures in Delhi, BJP leaders have been very accommodating.

After the prestigious position on the Tirupati board, Reddy is making sure Srinivasan also gets the coveted Dubai position as the ICC chairman. A simple thank you won’t do, we guess.
