Rajeev Shukla has been associated with Indian cricket administration for a long time. He has previously been the chairman of IPL and has played many important roles in BCCI.
Being a seasoned politician and former journalist, Shukla has a lot of experience in the cricket world. Cricblogger has claimed, citing a senior BCCI official, that Rajeev Shukla can replace Roger Binny in July itself and the board officials are already discussing his name.
