Haryana Cricket Association: Ahead of the 2024 Haryana Elections which are set to take place on October 5, former India batter Virender Sehwag has pledged full support to former Haryana Cricket Association (HCA) and BCCI administrator Anirudh Chaudhry, who is from the Tosham assembly constituency. Sehwag, who himself hails from Najafgarh in Haryana, believes Anirudh Chaudhry has been a loyal servant to Indian cricket and will be equally sincere if he wins the seat.

“Anirudh bhaiyya and I go way back as it was his father, Ranbir Singh, the President of BCCI, who supported me a lot and even made me vice-captain (of the Indian team). So our relationship is strong. I hope my coming here gives him support and strength and that people will vote for him in numbers. I believe that when he does this much for the players then what will he do when he goes to the Vidhan Sabha,” said Sehwag.

Anirudh Chaudhry has a long and storied history with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He has served as the former BCCI treasurer and Haryana Cricket Association secretary and managed India's U-19 team and Team India during the 2007 T20 World Cup.
