The newly elected body took charge of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) yesterday, but the implementation of the Justice Lodha Committee reforms has cost Indian cricket board dear. BCCI sources revealed that Rs 119 crore has been spent as legal expenses in the last four years.

However, this legal expenditure isn't restricted to the Supreme Court hearings and senior counsels hired to implement the Lodha Committee reforms. They also include other legal expenses of the Board like arbitration in Pakistan Cricket Board's claims (for not participating in series) and income tax litigation.
