The BCCI were criticised for the video they released on their social media platforms after India won the 2026 Men\u2019s T20 World Cup.<\/a><\/p>\n

At Ahmedabad on March 8, India beat New Zealand in the final to become the first host nation to win the Men\u2019s T20 World Cup. They also became the first team to win the trophy thrice as well as the first to defend their title.<\/p>\n

Jay Shah, who used to be the secretary of the BCCI until he was elected unopposed as the ICC chair in August 2024<\/a>, handed the medals to the winning squad and the trophy to Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav. He then joined the victorious Indian team in their celebrations.<\/p>\n

On March 10, the BCCI uploaded a 37-second montage, celebrating the Indian squad and Shah. Social media users were quick to point out that Shah appeared 12 times in the video.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The video drew criticism from international sporting media. On The Final Word podcast<\/a>, Adam Collins referred to the situation as the \u201cboiling frog thing\u201d.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThis is not normal to have the guy who is responsible for the biggest decisions in global cricket on behalf of all the members celebrating like he\u2019s in his old job … in his previous position, would be normal, that would be fine, that wouldn\u2019t be remarked upon. I actually feel sorry for the players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Geoff Lemon added: \u201cIf you\u2019re heading a national board, you shouldn\u2019t be celebrating like you\u2019re a punter in the stands. There is still a difference between those things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other journalists were sarcastic in their criticism of the video as well.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
