The best compliment an administrator can get is for players to say he was a player's man. Jagmohan Dalmiya got that.

“He was a very interesting man. He was extremely resolute, resilient and determined. He was very political and used the power of India to take leadership positions in cricket. While India’s concerns were always first and foremost, he saw the bigger picture of world cricket. He was an early leader in creating and marketing the enormous value of cricket TV rights in India and sought to commercialise them for the benefit of the other countries.”
“I remember today my long innings with Jagmohan Dalmiya from when we worked together to lay the solid foundations of Indian cricket and built it into a global powerhouse. Jaggu’s passion, energy and dedication was instrumental. He was an able cricket administrator and I, along with millions of cricket lovers around the world, salute his commitment and dedication to the game.”
“With the passing away of Jagmohan Dalmiya, Bangladesh cricket has lost a true friend and a genuine well-wisher. We are forever grateful for the assistance and warmth received from Mr Dalmiya in taking cricket forward in Bangladesh. It is also apt to say that Bangladesh’s elevation to Test status in many ways was a result of his farsightedness and whole-hearted support. World cricket will sorely miss his dynamism, leadership and vision.”
“Mr Dalmiya was a highly respected and powerful figure in the international game and played a key role in the BCCI’s growth including India hosting the 1987 and 1996 ICC Cricket World Cups. His tenure also coincided with Australia and India forging closer links on and off the field including the establishment of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy which has since seen highly competitive and memorable Test series between the two countries.
“Mr. Dalmiya will never be forgotten in South African cricket circles for being instrumental in welcoming us back into the international cricket fold and for extending in 1991 that historic invitation to the United Cricket Board to make possible the Proteas first ever tour abroad to India. always felt good around Mr Dalmiya and I will never forget his warm words during my own difficult times. He was a special person and South Africans have much to be grateful to him for the strong relationship he cultivated between the two countries.”
“Mr Dalmiya was widely appreciated for his dedication to the game and the respect with which he always treated the players and his fellow administrators from around the world. It was under his watch as ICC President that the game first took the globalisation seriously with the launch of the ICC Knock-Out tournament (now known as the ICC Champions Trophy), the revenue from which was reinvested into cricket development around the world. On behalf of the ICC, I extend my condolences to all those associated with Mr Dalmiya.”
“I first met him in the early nineties when he and Inderjit Bindra, another veteran cricket administrator, decided to take on the Government of India and defend the BCCI’s right to telecast its own cricket matches and support the game of cricket with the revenues generated by Television Broadcasting rights. Having economically empowered the BCCI with the TV money, Dalmiya realized the power of the ‘eyeballs’. India alone accounted for more than seventy five per cent of the TV audiences. Dalmiya became the President of the ICC and India’s influence in the world of cricket has never looked back. The game of cricket has lost a great administrator who shifted the Home of cricket to India. I have lost a personal friend.”
“I am saddened with the passing of Mr Dalmiya. He was a visionary cricket administrator who dedicated his life to cricket. Cricket flourished in India during his tenures as the BCCI President, while global cricket got stronger when he was the ICC President. Cricket has lost one of its most loyal, committed and dedicated servants.”
“I will miss his ready laugh. It was under Mr. Dalmiya’s leadership that the ICC who then had only a few thousand dollars in their kitty went on to have the millions today which are disbursed to the rest of the cricketing world. His statesmanship also helped ease many a prickly situation in international cricket and Indian cricket in particular. May his soul rest in peace.”
“We have lost a friend, a gentleman and one of cricket’s favorite sons. He was not just a friend of West Indies cricket, but world cricket. He loved the game and gave his all for the good of the sport.Mr. Dalmiya was a visionary and had a huge impact on the game as one of the most respected and admired administrators in its history.”
