In the viral video clip, Jay Shah can be seen having throwdowns while others are filming him. The video footage is from a friendly match in which Mr Shah participated as a player. It's worth noting that Mr Shah is the honorary board secretary of the Indian Cricket Board and head of the Asian Cricket Council. He is also heading the committee to organise the ODI World Cup in India.

In a shocking revelation, the Jay Shah-headed committee has decided to refrain from organising any opening event for the ODI World Cup 2023. Unlike other editions, this year's ODI World Cup will witness a closing ceremony instead of an opening ceremony. However, official confirmation of this news is yet to be received by the Indian Cricket Board.
Can India win their third title?
After back-to-back setbacks in the last two editions, the Indian team will be playing with an urge to win the trophy. Playing in front of a home crowd will be a key challenge for the players, as they will be under immense pressure and spotlight. However, team management will look to continue their dominance in white-ball cricket and win the trophy for the third time.
It's worth noting that India will start their campaign against Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on October 8. However, the tournament will kick off on October 5, with defending champions England taking on New Zealand at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Narendra Modi Stadium will also host a key India vs. Pakistan match on October 14 and the finals on November 19.
