Modi entered Indian cricket by overthrowing the powerful Rungta family in Jaipur that had controlled Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) for more than 30 years. Apart from being the RCA president, he was also a vice-president of the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA).
He openly defied the might of Jagmohan Dalmiya and also joined hands with Narayanaswami Srinivasan in engineering Dalmiya's exit, albeit temporarily, from the board. Little did he know, that it would be the same Srinivasan and Dalmiya, who would join hands to throw him out.
