The match had many special moments and ICC released a montage of those moments giving the fans a memorable experience of the iconic game. Although, the montage had significant presence of ICC chairman Jay Shah which made fans take to social media and react on it. ICC Chairman Jay Shah Congratulates South Africa Cricket Team on Its Maiden WTC Title.

So So Strange

Wait? Either post something dedicated to ICC chairman or just don't show him way too many times. He is neither Aus or SA great or anything, don't know why I am getting to Jay Shah in this post too many times.

So so strange.

Oops

Was this video about Jay Shah watching the final from different angles?

Joke

Rabada’s appearance: 1

Jay Shah’s appearances: 10

This is the joke that @ICC is making out of Cricket.

Beyond Parody

Beyond parody. This video consists of 23 separate shots, 11 of which feature the ICC chairman.

Nevertheless, there will still be a cohort of client journalists along to furiously defend it, and insist there's nothing unusual about it. https://t.co/Uqdsl0Edx3

Jay Shah vs Jay Shah

Didnt realise the ICC final was Jay Shah v Jay Shah.

This video montage looks like it has been compiled by the Jay Shah appreciation society (which has 1 member)

Yes he is the ICC chairman but this post was about the #WtcFinal2025 yet Jay is in it TWELVE times.. https://t.co/mqSQ0fNUJf

Jay Shah Player of the Match
