Jay Shah’s leadership and unwavering support were instrumental in India’s triumphant campaign at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. After meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah expressed gratitude for the PM’s steadfast backing. “Meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji at his official residence upon our return from Barbados was truly an honor,” Shah shared on Instagram. “His consistent encouragement has been a pillar of strength for #TeamIndia, inspiring us to always strive for excellence regardless of outcomes. The nationwide celebration following our World Cup victory fills every Indian heart with pride.”
Shah’s proactive efforts were crucial in safely repatriating the team, which was stranded in Barbados due to Hurricane Beryl. Shortly after meeting the Prime Minister, the team hurried to Mumbai for an open-top bus parade and a memorable presentation ceremony at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.
