Summary:

Kanpur, Nov 23 (PTI) "Please don"t compare me with N Srinivasan sir.

He has built a legacy and I am just starting off," says Sanjay Kapoor, a trifle embarrassed when reminded that he has something in common with one of the most powerful administrators in Indian cricket.

Kapoor, who is BCCI"s appointed Venue Director for the first Test between India and New Zealand at the iconic Green Park, has a bigger identity in the Indian sporting field.

The multi-millionaire businessman from Kanpur is currently the president of All India Chess Federation (AICF) just like the former BCCI president, who headed the organization back in 2007 when he was also the treasurer of cricket board.

Kapoor is currently the president of the Kanpur Cricket Association (KCA) and wants Green Park to host a "memorable Test match".

"Right now, my only aim is to see that we give all stake-holders all the facilities needed to have a memorable Test match, which matches the history of this iconic venue.
