ICC boss Jay Shah broke the news on social media, prompting tributes from across the sporting world.

Bindra’s final moments came at his Delhi home on Sunday. A senior bureaucrat turned cricket administrator, he dedicated decades to elevating the game.

Shah’s tribute on X read: ‘Saddened by the demise of IS Bindra, former BCCI President and Indian cricket stalwart. Om Shanti.’

From 1993-96, Bindra led BCCI, but his influence spanned longer through PCA, where he served from 1978-2014. The Mohali stadium honors him as IS Bindra Stadium since 2015 for his infrastructure strides.

Partnering with Jagmohan Dalmiya in the ’90s, he unlocked TV rights potential, ushering private TV entry. This financial overhaul boosted India’s global clout, turning cricket into a billion-dollar industry.

Bindra championed India’s bids for ICC mega-events and served as a top advisor. His outspoken nature shone in IPL 2013 scandal critiques, demanding accountability.

A architect of modern cricket governance, Bindra’s legacy endures in stadiums, revenues, and India’s dominance. The game owes him much; his insights will echo eternally.
