No Friction Reported as India Skips ACC Chairhanded Ceremony

BCCI secretary Devjit Saikia and ACC President Mohsin Nakvi were both present on the dais during the final. Saikia later explained that it is customary for officials from different cricket boards to mingle throughout the match, from the toss to the post‑match gathering.

He noted that he and Shukla sat together in the royal box, and Nakvi joined them later, sitting beside deputy chairman Khalid. The event proceeded without any heated exchange, confirming a cordial atmosphere among the delegates.

Shukla supported Saikia’s remarks, emphasizing that the shared seating arrangement is a standard practice and should not attract criticism.
