Shashank Vyankatesh Manohar born 29 September 1957 is a prominent Indian lawyer who is currently serving as the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. He was elected as the new president of the BCCI unopposed in the special general meeting called by the board in October 2015 following the demise of Jagmohan Dalmiya. He has also served as the 29th President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India from 2008 to 2011. As a cricket administrator he is known for his impeccable track record & integrity in cricketing circles, justifying the predicate "Mr.Clean'' attributed to him. He is often credited as the best president BCCI ever had.
During his presidency India became the No 1 Test side & won the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup defeating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in the final. 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.
