New Delhi: The T20 World Cup 2026, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, is currently being held at Aarun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, which is set to host six matches. The tournament commenced with the opening game between Namibia and the Netherlands.
A fan recorded a video after the match, appearing to show a vendor repouring leftover soft drinks from glasses back into empty plastic bottles. This video quickly circulated on social media, raising concerns about hygiene standards at the venue.
In the video, the individual filming stated, “At Arun Jaitley Stadium, leftover Thums Up from cups is reportedly being poured back into bottles. During the next match, the same old bottles will be sold again. It clearly looks like a scam is going on.”
