Celebrations erupted following Messi and Argentina’s victory, and not just there; they spread across the world. Argentina’s third World Cup victory was celebrated extravagantly by people even in India. Messi, a seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, sent a signed jersey to Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), despite the fact that there is no doubting his enormous fan base in India.
While holding the autographed Messi jersey, Pragyan Ojha, the representative of the Indian Cricketers Association on the governing council, posted a photo of himself and Jay Shah together. Ojha captioned the photo, “#GOAT sends his best wishes & signed match jersey for jay bhai! What a humble personality. Hopefully I will get one for myself…. Soon.”
