The date of 2nd November will always hold a special place in the history of Indian cricket. This year, she won the Women’s World Cup 2025 title by defeating South Africa by 52 runs in the final. The Indian team had lost three consecutive matches in the league stage of the World Cup, after which questions were raised on the captaincy of Harmanpreet Kaur. But with India’s World Cup victory, he has proved his critics wrong. Actually, when Kaur was going to collect the trophy from ICC Chairman Jay Shah, she tried to touch Jay Shah’s feet. However, Jai Shah had stopped him from doing so. After all, why did Jai Shah do this? Here you will get the answer to this question.
Why didn’t Jai Shah touch his feet?
The first reason is that in Hindu religion the feet of a girl/woman are not touched because woman is considered a form of Shakti. In Hindu religion, women are considered worthy of worship. However, women are seen touching the feet of elders. According to old beliefs, women have been touching the feet of father, guru and elders only. Jay Shah and Harmanpreet are almost of the same age, so if Shah had touched the feet of the Indian captain, it would have been seen as an insult to women.
Jai Shah was praised a lot on social media for this gesture. It was said that Jai Shah respected women power by not touching her feet. It was said that this reflected his good values.
Let us tell you that Jay Shah has made an important contribution in taking Indian women’s cricket forward and now being the ICC Chairman, he is committed to giving a new identity to the Women’s World Cup in world cricket.
