Shreyas Iyer, a prominent figure in the Indian cricket team, last played in the Champions Trophy 2025. Subsequently, he has been sidelined from international cricket. The recent announcement of the Asia Cup 2025 squad did not include Iyer’s name. Currently, taking a break from cricket, Iyer shared a video on his social media, where he performed a magic trick for his fans. The video has quickly gone viral across social media platforms.
The video shows Iyer’s participation in the B7 Magic Bar tour. He performed a card trick, leaving fans in awe. The fans, impressed by the trick, inquired about the method, but the Indian cricketer remained secretive. This isn’t the first instance of Iyer showcasing his magic skills. Indian players have also acknowledged Iyer’s proficiency in card tricks. This video further proves his talent outside of cricket.
Despite his excellent performance in the Indian Premier League 2025, where he scored over 600 runs, and his good form in T20I cricket for India, Iyer was omitted from the Asia Cup 2025 squad. He could have been a crucial player for India in the middle order. It must have been disappointing for Iyer to miss the Asia Cup 2025. He was also overlooked for the five-match Test series against England.
