A video shared by an X user during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 has stirred controversy since it appears to show leftover soft drinks from cups being put back into a bigger bottle inside Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium. 

The article said that the remaining beverage will be reused for the following match, causing great resentment and anxiety among fans on social media. This footage raises alarm ahead of India's encounter against Namibia today (Thursday) at the same venue.

The video instantly went viral, with many people expressing disgust and questioning the cleanliness standards at one of India's best cricket stadiums. Given the global excitement surrounding the T20 World Cup, the accusation spread quickly, with some posts exaggerating the allegations without independent proof. The graphics in the film appeared to show workers handling many cups near a beverage container, causing viewers to believe that leftover beverages were gathered and replenished.

However, there is no official confirmation or reliable source indicating that any such practice occurred at the stadium during the event. The accusation has not been supported by an official statement from the ICC, stadium authorities, or event organisers. Food and beverage services at large-scale athletic events are often subject to tight hygiene and safety rules, which prevent the reuse of provided drinks owing to contamination hazards.

It is also worth noting that brief video snippets published online can occasionally be deceptive or lack context. Without confirmed information about when the tape was taken, who was there, and what was going on, it is uncertain whether the clip correctly portrays what has been stated. During important events, social media messages spread quickly, and not all of them accurately portray the situation.

As of now, the report that leftover beverages were poured back into bottles for reuse during the ICC T20 World Cup match at Arun Jaitley Stadium has not been verified. Viewers should depend on verifiable information and government declarations before reaching judgments regarding such severe charges impacting public health and safety.
