Manhas was the captain of the Delhi side for most of the new millennium. He was at the helm when Delhi ended their championship drought in 2007–08, although Gambhir led the side in the semi-final and final. He scored 921 runs in that first-class season at 57.57.
In 2022, Manhas was appointed assistant coach of Indian Premier League side Gujarat Titans.
President of BCCI
In September 2025, Manhas elected unopposed as Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president at the 94th annual general meeting of the board held on 28 September 2025.
Controversies
The major controversies surrounding Manhas include Legal Summons in Defamation Complaint in 2025, fallout with player Parvez Rasool and the viral Virendra Sehwag Divorce Rumours.
In October 2025, a Jammu Court issued summons to Manhas and others in criminal defamation complaint filed by former Jammu and Kashmir Police officer Sudershan Mehta, who alleged that Manhas and others had published defamatory statements about him to damage his reputation.
During his tenure as Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) Chairman in 2021, Manhas had issued notice to Indian cricketer Parvez Rasool, asking him to return a cricket roller allegedly taken by him. Rasool strongly denied this, saying that he was being victimised.
In early 2026, social media platforms and unverified online reports suddenly erupted with rumors of divorce between Virendra Sahwag and his wife Aarti Ahlawat, linking Manhas with the alleged impending divorce. Later the entire matter subsided by its own.
