Mr. Bindra's stellar role in staging the Reliance World Cup in 1987 and opening up the Indian cricket television market is forever lauded by all.
India's stature in world cricket improved tremendously when its financial muscle, mainly due to Mr. Bindra's efforts, increased.
Bindra, N. K. P. Salve and Jagmohan Dalmiya were responsible for getting the Cricket World Cup hosting rights to the Indian subcontinent in 1987[2] and 1996.

[4] Bindra was criticized by BCCI officials for supporting Lalit Modi during the match fixing crisis, and for endorsing Haroon Lorgat for the role of the CEO of Cricket South Africa.
