Shreyas Iyer’s magical abilities are well-known in cricket, with the middle-order batsman bragging about them to numerous players and staff members in the past. On Monday, Mohammed Siraj’s turn, as the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) pacer fell prey to a devious card trick.
Shreyas Iyer can be see doing the entire setup in a video issued by the BCCI. He instructs Mohammed Siraj to choose a card from the deck – a 4 of spades – and hold it between his palms after displaying it to everyone.
The magician then selects a fresh card from the deck, a Joker, and rubs it over the palms of one of his teammates. When Mohammed Siraj opens his hands, the card he sees isn’t the 4 of spades, but the Joker, which Shreyas Iyer chose afterwards.
Mohammed Siraj
Shreyas Iyer insulted Mohammed Siraj, “Miyan kuch toh bolo miyan, kuch toh bolo,” leaving him speechless (Say something, sir, say something). The 27-year-old could only throw the card down in astonishment. KL Rahul and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the audience enjoying the hilarious scenario.
For the just finished series against New Zealand, both Shreyas Iyer and Mohammed Siraj returned to the Indian T20I lineup.
Iyer was expected to play finisher in three games, something he h done for the majority of his career. While he didn’t have a particularly bad outing. 30 runs in two innings at an average of 15 did not inspire confidence.
