Jay Shah shook hands with each player individually, Unquestionably one of the greatest athletes and cricket players in the world is star Indian batsman Virat Kohli. Because of his on-field exploits and brand, the 35-year-old has become known as one of the most powerful people in cricket globally throughout the years.
During the T20 World Cup 2024 celebrations at the Wankhede Stadium, another instance of Kohli’s influence wasmood evident. The BCCI gave the team a cheque, and as they all went onto the stage to accept it, Jay Shah, the board secretary, was a part of an iconic occasion.
Jay Shah shook hands with each player individually, but after shaking hands with Virat Kohli, he became caught in the moment and momentarily forgot to touch hands with the other players who followed the 35-year-old. On social media, the same video clip has been widely shared.
