Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir has always been vocal about the matters that concern Indian cricket. The cricketer-turned-politician is very active on the microblogging site where he is always ready to take a stand against the wrongdoings. Recently, he raised the voice against the shameful act during the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Gambhir shared a video in his twitter account where the two rival parties indulged in a fight during the meeting. He strongly condemned the disgraceful act by the members of DDCA. He even urged BCCI and Sourav Ganguly to dissolve the present body. The former cricketer wants to revamp the tarnished image of a major cricket association.

“DDCA GOES “ALL OUT”…AND DDCA IS ALL OUT FOR A SHAMEFUL DUCK. Look, how a handful of crooks are making a mockery of an institution. I’d urge @BCCI @SGanguly99 @JayShah to dissolve @delhi_cricket immediately. Surely, sanctions or even a life ban for those involved,” Gambhir wrote in his twitter handle.

DDCA has been involved in violence, in-fighting, insults, accusations and alleged financial embezzlement and irregularities in the selection process. Some days back, the DDCA President Rajat Sharma resigned from the post because he was finding the difficulty to work with the persons who don’t follow the rules and regulations.

Gautam Gambhir has the potential to lead DDCA, and he also wants to work on the betterment for the cricket. A source close to Gambhir said that the former cricketer would like to take charge of DDCA if offered.

“Gautam Gambhir has taken this decision after a lot of thoughts and he is troubled by the fact that there is no order in the present head-less DDCA. He has been thinking about taking a pro-active role to resurrect DDCA’s tarnished image.”

“If given a chance, he would like to lead DDCA from the front and by example and ready to mantle the role of Presidentship through the duly elected process,” sources close to Gautam Gambhir confirmed to Republic TV.
