Former Delhi captain Mithun Manhas filed his nomination for the post of BCCI president at the board's headquarters in Mumbai on Sunday, taking the cricket fraternity by surprise.

Manhas, who played 157 first-class, 130 List A and 55 IPL matches in a long domestic career from 1997-98 to 2016-17, emerged as a frontrunner to take over the role left vacant by the exit of Roger Binny last month.

The 45-year-old Manhas's name came to the fore after an informal meeting held in New Delhi, where it was decided by the powers that be to put forth his name for the role of BCCI president.
