ICC Chairman and former BCCI Secretary Jay Shah is currently in Munich, Germany, ahead of the IPL 2025 final scheduled for June 3. Shah shared updates on social media about his visit, including a photo with UEFA President Alexander Ceferin.
The purpose of Shah’s visit is to watch the UEFA Champions League final on June 1, where French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will face Italian club Inter Milan. The Champions League final is one of the most prestigious football events globally, attracting millions of viewers.
During his stay, Jay Shah met with Ceferin, emphasizing the importance of growing cricket’s presence internationally. Shah said on social media, “Proud to represent cricket in Munich ahead of the Champions League final.” He also highlighted the goal of expanding cricket’s reach across different countries through such international collaborations.
Interestingly, the Champions League final and IPL 2025 final are just two days apart. Both events enjoy massive global viewership, yet there is a huge difference in their prize money. The Champions League boasts a prize purse that exceeds IPL 2025’s by approximately ₹227 crore, highlighting the financial scale of European football tournaments.
As cricket fans eagerly await the IPL final, Jay Shah’s visit underscores the growing interplay between global sports and the efforts to take cricket to new heights on the world stage.
