Correct Answer: Saurav Ganguly have emerged


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

The grammatical error in the sentence is in the verb agreement. The correct form should be "Saurav Ganguly has emerged" instead of "Saurav Ganguly have emerged".

In this case, "Saurav Ganguly" is a singular subject, so the verb "has" should be used for proper subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is:
"Saurav Ganguly has emerged as the new President of the BCCI after a night-long discussion."
