C Nagaraj dies at 76

C Nagaraj, the former secretary of the Indian board, died in Bangalore on Friday.

Nagaraj, 76, was admitted to hospital after collapsing at home but never recovered consciousness. He was joint secretary and honorary secretary of the board for 20 years from 1978, and also from serving the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) in various capacities. Nagaraj was the secretary of the KSCA for two decades from 1978 and was also a committee member, team manager and assistant secretary. He is survived by a wife, two daughters and son.

"I was shocked to hear the news," Jogmohan Dalmiya told The Telegraph, a Kolkata based daily. "I had worked with Nagaraj for many years and it is hard to believe that he is no more."
