Batting legend V.V.S. Laxman on Tuesday said Indian cricket will undoubtedly continue to prosper under former captain Sourav Ganguly, who is set to take over the reins of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Ganguly, a veteran of 113 Tests and 311 ODIs, on Monday filed his nominations papers for the post of BCCI president in Mumbai.

I have got no doubt that under your leadership Indian Cricket will continue to prosper. Wishing you lots of success in your new role Dada,” Laxman tweeted. Ganguly thanked his former teammate for the congratulatory message. “Thank u Vvs ..your contributions will be very important,” Ganguly tweeted. The 47-year-old, one of the finest Indian captains, will hold the post of the BCCI President for a mere nine months. He will have to demit office in July, due to compulsory cooling off period.
