Who is known as 'Baron of India' in Cricket?

Answer 1

Mark Mascarenhas - this is an update:

NEW DELHI, India -- Mark Mascarenhas, a cricket television baron who secured India's Sachin Tendulkar the highest salary ever paid to a cricket player, died Sunday in a road accident, news reports said.

Mascarenhas' car rammed head-on into another car and overturned when he was returning from the famous Velankanni Church near Nagpur in western Maharashtra state, Press Trust of India reported. He died of head injuries, the news agency quoted family sources as saying.

Tendulkar wasn't involved in the accident. He is in the north Indian city of Kanpur for Monday's fourth one-day international against England.

Mascarenhas headed the Connecticut-based sports management company WorldTel, which displayed Tendulkar's place as cricket's best selling brand after signing a multimillion dollar deal with him last year and making him the best paid cricket player ever.

In Kanpur, Tendulkar said it was a shattering news and a personal loss to him.

"Though he was my agent, our relations were of friends. This is an irreparable loss," he said.

Answer 2

Jagmohan Dalmiya

He joined the BCCI in 1979, and was one of the young turks - Inderjit Singh Bindra was another - who helped win the right to stage the World Cup in India in 1987
He was elected chairman of the International Cricket Council in 1997. His commercial skills and flair for striking deals turned round the cash-strapped ICC's fortunes.
.In 1996, the BBC declared him to be one of the world's top six sports executives.

Kolkata, September 29
After a day-long drama, the BCCI AGM was ultimately held around after 5 p.m. to elect the BCCI board and the president. Around 7 p.m., Dalmiya’s nominee, Ranbir Singh Mahendra, BCCI vice-president, was elected by casting of Dalmiya who was presiding since both Mahendra and Pawar obtained 15 votes each.

The election was conducted on the total 29 votes out of 31 eligible as voters. But two of them, one from Maharashtra and another from Rajasthan were rejected following claimants of both as true representatives of the state cricket control boards.

The NCP supremo, Mr Sharad Pawar, said his defeat in the election was ensured through unfair means, but ruled out going to the court against the outcome. Speaking to mediapersons, he said one of their genuine votes “was deliberately negated.”

The election ends the on-going power struggle in the BCCI between Jagmohan Dalmiya and his adversaries: between the "cricket management baron" and the political heavy weight: between the two Cricket Control Boards in Punjab and Haryana.
