Australian cricketer Jess Jonassen has become an internet sensation after imitating Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's iconic pose during a women's Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match. The incident occurred during the match between Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Royals at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad on August 22, 2024.
After dismissing Aaliyah Alleyne in the 15th over, Jonassen celebrated the wicket by striking the famous pose, which has been immortalized in Khan's films. A video of the moment quickly went viral on social media, garnering widespread attention.
The match itself saw Barbados Royals Women emerge victorious by 7 wickets. Opting to bowl first, they restricted Trinbago Knight Riders to a modest total of 113 for 9 in 20 overs. The Royals then chased down the target in 17.1 overs.
Meanwhile, in a significant development for Indian cricket, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah is poised to become the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Sources have confirmed that Shah has the backing of cricket boards from England and Australia, giving him the necessary support to replace incumbent Greg Barclay in November.
Shah's appointment would mark the third time an Indian has held the top position at the ICC. Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan, and Shashank Manohar have all previously served as presidents or chairmen of the organization.
