. I.S. Bindra A great organiser, a strict disciplinarian and a crusader that is Mr. Inderjit Singh Bindra. He is ruthlessly blunt. As a result some fear him while others respect him for the same reason. Yet no one can deny the fact that Mr Bindra possesses great organisational skill. He has demonstrated this ability time and again. The successful conduct of the Reliance Cup Criket Tournament, jointly hosted by India and Pakistan, in 1987 propelled him to the frontline of sports administrators in the country. He was the guiding force behind the Reliance Cup show. But he has not confined himself to cricket alone. During the period that Mr. Bindra was busy organising the Reliance Cup, he was also the President of the Table Tennis Federation of India. In fact, Mr Bindra took the TTFI under his command when his friend , Mr S.P. Bagla, relinquished the charge as chief of the federation. As is his wont, he mobilised great resources for the federation which then enjoyed the privilege of hosting the 39th World Table Tennis Championship from February 18 to March 1, 1987, at Delhi. During the organisation of the 39th World Table Tennis Championships, he also served as one of the Asian representatives on the International Table Tennis Federation Council. Other members of the panel included Saliman Aljabhan, Rabee H.Al Turk, Koji Kimura, Li Jong Ho and Yap Yong Yih. |
