Jay Shah, Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar
“We will definitely hoist the Indian flag in Barbados in 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.” This line said by Jai Shah is definitely in the hearts and minds of every Indian cricket fan. Which he said after India’s defeat in the ODI World Cup. After this, Team India proved what Jai Shah said to be true and Rohit Sharma hoisted the tricolor flag in Barbados. Team India captain Rohit Sharma has also said that Jai Shah played an important role in India’s T20 World Cup victory.
When all the cricket pundits believed that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should be dropped from the T20 team, then Jay Shah, contrary to them, showed faith in both these players. The result of this was that Team India was able to win the T20 World Cup title after 17 years. Now Jay Shah is no longer a part of BCCI. After working for BCCI for 6 consecutive years, he has now turned his attention towards ICC.
