The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is currently running without any President at the top of it since Roger Binny left his position. Binny ended his term recently as he stepped down from the position following reaching the 70-yer age-limit. BCCI's Vice-President Rajeev Shukla is the acting president in the absence of a president. However, the official elections for key posts including president, secretary, vice-president, joint secretary, treasurer and IPL chairman are scheduled to take place during the BCCI Annual General Meeting (AGM) in the last week of September. Ahead of that, reports have come out that former Indian cricketer and legend Sachin Tendulkar might be the next president of BCCI.  BCCI Hikes Base Price Of Bidding For India National Cricket Team Lead Sponsorship After Dream11 Exit; Know List of Brands Barred From Contention and the Revised Rates.

Will Sachin Tendulkar's Candidature Be Contested In BCCI Elections?

After his retirement Sachin Tendulkar has not been involved in administration unlike his teammate Sourav Ganguly who was a former BCCI president. He did not join active coaching like Rahul Dravid as well. But the news coming out suggests that there has been a influence who want him to be the next BCCI president.
