A video from the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium has gone viral ahead of the T20 World Cup Group A match between India and Namibia, triggering concerns over hygiene standards at the venue.
The clip allegedly shows a beverage vendor pouring unsold cold drinks from disposable glasses back into bottles. The footage quickly circulated on social media, with users questioning the safety and cleanliness of refreshments being sold to spectators.
DDCA rejects adulteration claims
Responding to the controversy, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) denied allegations of adulteration and poor hygiene.
Officials stated that there was no evidence to suggest that drinks being sold at the stadium were contaminated. They maintained that strict protocols are followed by authorised vendors to ensure food and beverage safety during international matches.
The association has not confirmed whether any internal inquiry has been initiated but reiterated that hygiene standards at the stadium remain in place.
With high-profile matches drawing thousands of spectators, the incident has reignited discussions around food safety and vendor monitoring at major sporting venues.
