A video purportedly showing a staff member refilling leftover soft drinks into bottles at the Arun Jaitley Stadium has gone viral on social media ahead of the T20 World Cup match between India and Namibia on Thursday, sparking concerns among cricket fans.

The clip, widely shared across platforms, appears to show a worker pouring the remaining drink back into bottles. Mathrubhumi English has not independently verified the authenticity of the video. It also remains unclear whether the bottles seen in the footage were intended for sale.

The viral video has triggered debate on social media, with several users questioning food safety standards at an event of such global reach.
