BCCI Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia also paid rich tributes to Bindra. “Indian cricket has lost one of its most influential architects,” Saikia said. “Mr Bindra’s commitment to the game, his administrative foresight and his passion for creating enduring infrastructure have left a legacy that will be remembered with deep respect across the cricketing fraternity. On behalf of the BCCI, I extend our deepest sympathies to Mr Bindra’s family, friends and the entire cricketing fraternity during this time of profound grief.”
