WATCH – “Kuchh toh bolo Miyan” – Shreyas Iyer leaves Mohammed Siraj stunned with his magic trick
Shreyas Iyer showing a magic trick to Mohammed Siraj
After white-washing the three-match Twenty20 International (T20I) series, the Indian cricket team is currently having a couple of days break ahead of the two Tests. Meanwhile, middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer was seen tricking speedster Mohammed Siraj with his unique card magic.
In a recent video shared by the social media accounts of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Iyer asked the Hyderabad cricketer to pick a card from the deck – which was a 4 of spades. The 26-year-old later told him to hold it in between his palms after showing it to everyone.
Iyer then goes on to pick another card from the deck and rubs it on Siraj’s palms. The pacer’s reaction was priceless when he found the card that he rubbed on opening his palms. The second card turned out not to be the 4 of spades but the Joker that Iyer picked later.
The T20 side’s vice-captain KL Rahul and young opening batter Ruturaj Gaikwad were also present there to witness this crazy magic trick. Reacting to this, Siraj threw away the card in sheer disbelief which left laughs on everyone’s faces.
Here’s the full video of Shreyas Iyer-Mohammed Siraj’s jovial video:
