Sachin Tendulkar storms the internet with lengthy message after Jay Shah becomes ICC chairman; Rohit, Kohli join in
The legendary Sachin Tendulkar, former captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, and current India ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma and star batter Virat Kohli congratulated Jay Shah on being elected unopposed as the new chairperson of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Tendulkar joined many former and current players to extend his wishes to Shah, who will be the youngest ICC chairman in history at 35.
Being enthusiastic and having the drive to do something good for cricket are essential qualities for a cricket administrator. @JayShah displayed these traits wonderfully during his stint as @BCCI secretary,” Tendulkar wrote on X.
“His endeavours towards prioritising both women’s cricket and men’s cricket have made the BCCI a pioneer that other boards can follow. I wish him the very best of luck towards the next phase of his journey, as he becomes the youngest chairman of the @ICC,” he said.
Shah will be the fifth Indian to head the ICC and Tendulkar hoped that he would be able to carry the legacy forward.
