Shreyas Iyer, a key batsman for the Indian cricket team, last played for India in the Champions Trophy 2025. Since then, he hasn’t been selected for international cricket. His exclusion from the Asia Cup 2025 squad came as a surprise to many. Currently, away from the sport, Iyer posted a video on his social media showcasing his magic skills, which quickly gained traction online.
In the video, Iyer revealed he is involved with the B7 Magic Bar tour. He performed a card trick that left his fans amazed. The audience, curious, questioned how he accomplished the trick, but the Indian cricketer kept the secret. Iyer’s proficiency in magic tricks isn’t new; he has previously demonstrated his skills. Other Indian cricketers have also noted his talent with card magic, showcasing another facet of his abilities beyond the cricket field. The video provides further evidence of his talent.
Despite a strong performance in the Indian Premier League 2025, where he scored over 600 runs, and consistent batting in T20I cricket, Iyer was excluded from the Asia Cup 2025 team. He could have been a valuable asset in India’s middle order. The exclusion from the Asia Cup 2025 would have been disappointing for Iyer, especially considering his absence from the five-match Test series against England.
