Jagmohan Dalmiya got his first taste of real power at an early age. Born into a family of Marwari businessmen, Dalmiya took over from his father as the head of the family’s construction company, ML Dalmiya Co. Ltd, at the young age of 20. He had a passion for cricket though; he was a wicketkeeper-batsman of some repute (he kept wickets for Jorabagan and Rajasthan — the Kolkata club, not the Indian state), having once scored a double century. However, his interest in the game translated more through administration than it ever did in his playing days.
