The Baroda Cricket Association (BCA), one of India's most prestigious and historic cricket bodies, has always been a powerhouse for nurturing exceptional talent—from timeless legends like Vijay Hazare to modern icons such as Hardik Pandya. Today, this proud legacy is soaring to new heights, thanks to the visionary leadership of the **Revival Group**. This dynamic and forward-thinking administrative panel, under the guidance of dedicated leaders like Pranav Amin, has become the true driving force behind Vadodara's cricketing renaissance. With a focus on excellence, innovation, and inclusivity, the Revival Group continues to elevate the sport in the region as the BCA approaches its elections on February 15, 2026.
A Legacy of Visionary Leadership and Progress
Since gaining prominence in the 2019 elections and securing key positions, the Revival Group has consistently demonstrated its passion for cricket's growth. By blending strong administrative expertise with a deep love for the game, the group has championed meaningful reforms in line with the Lodha Committee recommendations, promoting greater transparency, democracy, and efficiency in BCA governance.
Under Pranav Amin's inspiring presidency, the Revival Group has delivered on its promises, transforming challenges into remarkable successes. Now, branded as Revival 31 for the upcoming polls, the group proudly fields former Indian wicket-keeper and Arjuna Awardee Kiran More as its presidential candidate—a perfect fusion of legendary experience, star power, and proven commitment to Baroda cricket. Strong endorsements, including from Ajit Lele (son of former BCCI secretary J.Y. Lele), highlight the widespread confidence in Revival 31's track record of positive change and **promises delivered**.
Landmark Achievements in World-Class Infrastructure
The Revival Group's most celebrated triumph is the successful realization of the magnificent **Kotambi Stadium** (also known as the BCA Stadium or Vadodara International Cricket Stadium). Though the land was acquired years earlier, it was under the group's determined leadership that this long-cherished dream became reality. Opened in December 2024, the state-of-the-art venue quickly hosted its first international matches, including a Women's ODI series against West Indies, and made a spectacular WPL debut in 2025 by hosting several thrilling matches.
This modern marvel—with its excellent facilities, floodlights, and capacity for international fixtures—has placed Vadodara firmly on the global cricket map. The stadium's rapid progress has enabled hosting major tournaments, including international games in 2025-2026, showcasing the group's ability to turn vision into tangible excellence and boost both cricket and community pride.
Championing Talent, Welfare, and On-Field Glory
Beyond infrastructure, the Revival Group has placed cricketer welfare and talent development at the forefront. Through innovative grassroots programs, enhanced coaching, and scouting initiatives, the group has nurtured a vibrant pipeline of talent, ensuring Baroda's rich legacy thrives for generations.
The results speak volumes: Baroda's teams have delivered outstanding performances in domestic cricket, including record-breaking feats in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The group's efforts have fostered an environment of excellence, producing players who excel at national and international levels. Initiatives like the Cricketers Benefit Scheme provide monthly support to Ranji players, reflecting a genuine commitment to player well-being and motivation.
The Revival Group has also celebrated icons like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli with heartfelt felicitations, alongside recognizing local heroes and women's cricket contributions, creating a truly inclusive and proud cricketing community.
Inspiring Community Pride and a Bright Future
The Revival Group's impact resonates deeply in Vadodara, fostering community pride, inclusivity, and excitement around cricket. By raising standards in every aspect—from facilities to fan engagement—it has built an ecosystem where players, fans, and the city thrive together.
As the 2026 elections approach, Revival 31 stands ready to build on these extraordinary achievements, promising even greater innovation, more international events, and continued elevation of Baroda cricket. With a proven record of **promises delivered** and a passionate team led by Pranav Amin and Kiran More, the group embodies true leadership and optimism for the future.
In a city blessed with such a glorious cricketing heritage, the Revival Group has not just revived Baroda cricket—it has ignited a golden era, inspiring every young dreamer and fan to believe in the limitless possibilities of the sport they love.
