For nearly a decade, Gianni Infantino transformed FIFA into a commercial powerhouse. But today, the man who promised to unite football finds himself at the centre of its biggest political crisis. From his rise as a Swiss-Italian lawyer to becoming FIFA President, to his growing ties with Donald Trump, the failed World Cup commercial deal, European revolt, governance questions and mounting calls for his exit - Rupha Ramani breaks down how Infantino went from football's reformer to its most controversial figure, and why his presidency may now be hanging by a thread. Also on the show, Jasprit Bumrah's latest injury has once again exposed India's dependence on its pace spearhead. Rupha Ramani examines whether the BCCI has truly built the fast-bowling depth needed to compete for the World Test Championship when Bumrah isn't available. --- Gianni Infantino | FIFA | Donald Trump | Football | FIFA World Cup | Jasprit Bumrah | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #gianniin
