Was the Jay Shah meme song played at the Kensington Oval during the T20 WC clash?

The BCCI's top dignitaries, like Secretary Jay Shah and President Roger Binny, were present at the Kensington Oval for the India vs South Africa T20 World Cup final. The cameras showed them live on air as the match took place on Saturday. But hilarity ensued when Secretary Shah was featured on live television as the DJ at the Kensington Oval played the prominent Haryanvi song The Villagers. The readers may remember the song's lines Yar ki geal chaale, kaafila car aan ka, and it was played at the venue when Jay Shah was featured on television.

Throughout the meme culture in India, Jay Shah has been synonymous with the song, just like how Australia skipper Pat Cummins was with the notable Punjabi song Pagol. Shah has been a symbolic face on social media and the memes made over him have been a top favourite among the fans and users.
