Dilip Vengsarkar, the former India captain, credited Ratnakar Shetty for being one of the most player-friendly administrators he has seen over the years.
“The first time I met Prof. Shetty was in 1989 when I played my 100th Test at the Wankhede Stadium. Since then, having worked with him as a player and as an administrator post-retirement. And I can assure you that I have not seen an administrator who is respected and admired by players and administrators alike as much as him,” Vengsarkar said on Monday.
Vengsarkar was speaking at the release function of a book titled On Board: My Years in BCCI, an autobiographical account of Shetty’s experiences as an administrator.
