SPORT DUNGARPUR 3 LAST

Dungarpur managed the Indian teams on its tours of
England in 1982, 1986 and was the manager of the squad that
toured Pakistan in 1984-85 and 2005-06.

It was Dungarpur who was instrumental in amending the
rules of the CCI to allow Sachin Tendulkar use its dressing
room as a 14-year-old and smoothen things for the champion
batsman very early in his glittering career.

He headed the selection panel that chose Tendulkar in the
team captained by Krish Srikkanth for the tour to Pakistan in
1989-90.

It was also a selection panel with Dungarpur at its helm
that elevated Mohammed Azharuddin as the captain of the Indian
team and paved the way for what he later termed as the "Team
of the Nineties" which included Tendulkar and Anil Kumble,
among others.

"Mian, captaan banoage," were the famous words he
uttered to Azharuddin before making the Hyderabad stylist the
captain as replacement for the out-of-form Srikkanth in
1989-90 when India toured New Zealand.

As the BCCI President, he was always available to give
his views on any development when contacted by media persons.
