BCCI President Mithun Manhas: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday expressed grief over the demise of former India cricketer C.D. Gopinath, who passed away in Chennai. He was a member of India’s first-ever Test-winning team and an early contributor to the country’s rise in international cricket.
