Anurag on a vicious wicket this year

Probably the only cricket administrator who made his first class debut after becoming his state cricket body’s president, Anurag Thakur, Member of Parliament and BCCI president, finds himself on a vicious wicket with bouncers whizzing past his ears. Thakur, from Himachal Pradesh, played his one and only Ranji match after becoming the state body’s president. To be fair, he put the state on the international cricket map by building a world class stadium in Dharamshala. He gradually rose through the ranks of India’s cricket administration, and is now the president of the richest cricket association in the world, BCCI.

This most powerful position in world cricket is definitely not for the weak-hearted. A new controversy hits the board every other day. The Supreme Court has ordered a freeze on all BCCI accounts even as New Zealand is playing a series in India, with one Test and 5 ODI still remaining. If worse comes to worst, BCCI will have to call off the tour and the Kiwis may have to return home, which will be a disgrace not only to both the countries, but also to the game. After looking into Thakur’s horoscope minutely, Ganesha feels that Thakur’s woes are likely to continue for at least another year.

Saturn to create a lot of problems for Thakur:

The transiting Saturn is moving over the Natal Rahu in his Solar Chart and hence he will go through turmoil. Internal strife within the BCCI may also become a tough task for him to handle. BCCI’s unchallenged reputation as the apex cricketing body will be at stake and he will be struggling to find suitable ways to resolve the problems. He may find himself in a boiling cauldron. Things could be very rough for him in the coming days.

Ketu to aggravate the problems:

Adding to this, the transiting Ketu is moving over the Natal Jupiter. So, there will be some serious questions for him and the BCCI itself. He may feel cornered at times. There will be major repercussion in the administration of BCCI owing to the adverse transit of Ketu and Saturn. The transiting Jupiter’s aspect on the Natal Moon is a positive sign for him as he will valiantly fight against the odds and obstacles. He will not be ready to budge an inch from his stand, leave alone relinquishing without a fight.

Thakur will have to fend it like Dravid:

BCCI, being the hen that lays the golden eggs, at any given time, can have many of its administrators vying for the top position, no matter what headaches it brings along. In this case, Ganesha feels that apart from the stiff position by the Supreme Court, Thakur will also have to face adversities from within the BCCI. His rivals are likely to disrupt his plans and strategies, and a major reshuffle in the BCCI is likely to happen. Nevertheless, for the next one year at least, the bouncers will continue, and Thakur will have to device new methods to fend them off.
