Dalmiya was unanimously chosen for the BCCI top post to make a dramatic comeback nine years after he was booted out in Jaipur on charges of misappropriation of funds.
"We are extremely proud of you. We love you, we respect you whether you are BCCI president or not we will still respect you as much. It's good for CAB. Hope he will take the Indian cricket forward," the former lefthander told reporters on the sidelines of CAB's felicitation programme of Dalmiya.
"He has run the show for a long time, and I'm sure he will serve the Indian cricket for good," Ganguly said.
Exactly a month after being re-elected BCCI president, the CAB organised the felicitation at the Kshudiram Anushilan Kendra as Dalmiya was showered with gifts from all the CAB top officials, affiliated units, coaching clubs and schools.
Also present on the occasion was Karnataka State Cricket Association secretary Brijesh Patel.
