After rain ended the highly ended Pak-India Asia Cup 2023 match, X (formerly Twitter) turned its anger towards Jay Shah, Secretary of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) who refused to let the tournament be played out in hosts Pakistan. Shah remained adamant that India will not play in Pakistan, citing imaginary security concerns, ignoring the fact that major teams were all satisfied with security arrangements after touring the country.
When Saturday’s game got interrupted twice and eventually washed out by rain, cricket fans were up in arms against Shah, the son of Indian Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah.
Here are some of the tweets that angry netizens wrote down:
