In June 2010 after giving Lalit Modi who was chairman IPL and vice-president BCCI during IPL season 3, a fair hearing through the BCCI disciplinary committee, he suspended Lalit Modi for his misdemeanors which brought a bad name to the administration of Cricket and the game itself. For this he was lauded nationwide for restoring some of the harm done to cricket's image after the Lalit Modi affair. Before being president of BCCI, he was President of Vidarbha Cricket Association.
