Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis: The all-powerful Sharad Pawar Panel won 12 out of the 16 posts contested for the managing committee of the Mumbai Cricket Association, the elections for which were contested on Wednesday.

However, they did not get the all-important post of the President that incumbent Ajinkya S Naik retained unopposed. Naik is considered to have the backing of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, but had, before the elections, met former MCA and BCCI President Sharad Pawar and sought his blessings too. Ajinkya Naik's path to being elected unopposed was cleared following a meeting between Pawar and CM Fadnavis.

Former India women's team captain Diana Edulji, BJP MLC Prasad Lad, and some other potential candidates interested in contesting for the President's post withdrew, while NCP (SP) MLA and former minister Jitendra Awhad decided to contest for the vice-president's post, as did Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Milind Narvekar, who contested for Apex Council membership.
