South African bowler Tabraiz Shamsi and Indian batter Shreyas Iyer had a friendly chat before the series decider of the five-match T20I. He shared a post on Twitter which showed a picture taken in the last T20I. Both the players could be seen talking to each other.
Shamsi revealed what he said to Shreyas back then. He wrote. ” Asked ShreyasIyer15 for his bat before the game so he could stop hitting me for 6s haha…you definitely won this round bud!”
“I’ll be back…better prepared…and ready to do battle with you again,” he wrote further.

Furious exchange of words between Shamsi and Ishan Kishan
Although he had a friendly chat with Shreyas Iyer, tempers had flared between Shamsi and Ishan Kishan when the latter smacked a flat six off the spinner in the 3rd T20I in Vishakhapatnam. After the six, the next ball was a full toss which Ishan hit to the fielder. Camera showed Shamsi muttering something to Ishan.
As expected, Ishan answered him back and while the audio was not clear, Ishan could be seen having a furious war of words with Shamsi. From then onwards, Ishan let his bat do the talking. He reached a half-century off 31 balls. He even smacked the spinner for 4,6 and 4, when he dealt with him next time and completed his 2nd T20I fifty of his career and the series. The series ended in a draw with the fifth T20I and the decider one got abandoned due to rain.
India is set to play the rescheduled fifth Test against England from July 1 at Edgbaston. India is leading the series by 2-1. After the Test, three T20Is and three ODIs will be played till July 17.
