Maharaja Srikantadatta Nara-simharaja Wodeyar has come in various avatars in the past—as businessman, politician, even a fashion designer. Now he’s all set for a new innings. Reports say Wodeyar now plans to contest for the presidentship of the Karnataka State Cricket Association. Some members as well as ex-cricketers like Brijesh Patel do not approve of Wodeyar’s foray into cricket administration. But other veterans like Syed Kirmani are for him. The buzz is that he has the all-important support of BCCI president Sharad Pawar.
