The doctor confirmed for placing two stents in Dalmiya’s heart. His death has crashed the cricket community into a grief. Several celebrities, eminent personalities, and cricketers shared their reactions on Twitter condoling his demise.

President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi were two of the first to share the news on the micro-blogging platform.

Dalmiya has been the president of ICC and served the BCCI for a long time at different offices. Career started in 1979, he had occupied top positions in the CAB.

In the recent times, he was not well health wise and thus wasn’t an active participant in the daily functioning of the BCCI.

He was elected as the BCCI president in March 2015 after a long gap of 10 years. He unanimously won the elections. His health was deteriorating over a period of last few weeks and an open secret in the Indian cricket community.

In absense of Dalmiya, Anurag Thakur – the Secreatary took the decisions.

Due to ailing health conditions, he wasn’t able to conduct any BCCI meetings successfully. Infact, he was not able to answer the questions raised against his son in the meeting with the 3-member SC-appointed panel headed by Justice RM Lodha.

Considering his ailing health conditions, dissenting voices raise against him in BCCI itself to remove him for the President post.
