Mithun Manhas was elected unopposed as the 37th President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, or BCCI. The election took place at the Board's 94th annual general meeting, and Manhas succeeded Roger Binny, who had resigned in August 2025. In the current-affairs context of 29 September 2025, the president, predecessor, meeting and institution should be remembered together. Manhas had earlier been associated with Delhi cricket as a captain, so the update is useful not only as a sports headline but also as a fact about sports administration.
For exam preparation, the most direct facts are the person, post, institution and succession chain. The person is Mithun Manhas; the post is BCCI President; the institution is the Board of Control for Cricket in India; and the previous president was Roger Binny. An unopposed election at an annual general meeting also shows that the selection of office-bearers in sports bodies is linked to administrative procedure and institutional consensus.
For RAS and UPSC prelims, direct questions can be framed around the president, predecessor, BCCI and the 94th annual general meeting. Aspirants should remember the order of facts together: Mithun Manhas, 37th BCCI President, 94th annual general meeting, Roger Binny as predecessor and Delhi cricket as Manhas's earlier background. As a static-GK link, BCCI, its annual general meeting and the president's post can be revised with other recent appointments in Indian sports bodies.
