After Lalit Modi, enter Chirayu Amin. The announcement this afternoon that the IPL's interim chairman would be the president of the Vadodara Cricket Association drew an underwhelming response and the feeling that the BCCI had missed a trick by not appointing a bigger name who would be equal to the enormous task at hand.
Yet that doesn't fully account for Amin's profile: He is chairman of the century-old pharma major Alembic, and a former president of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry, a top corporate lobby group. His standing in Vadodara, a genteel university town in central Gujarat, is impeccable - apart from Alembic, his family runs a couple of the more sought-after schools - and his personal wealth is likely to leave him unfazed by the scale of what he has to set right. It's fair to say, though, that Amin isn't half as well known as two decades-old company products: Glycodin cough syrup and Yera glassware.
