The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared an entertaining video on social media, showing batter Shreyas Iyer weaving some card trick on his teammate Mohammad Siraj, who was left utterly stunned and amused.
In the video, Iyer asked Siraj to choose a card from the deck. The seamer drew four of spades, which Iyer asked him to show it to Ruturaj Gaikwad, the camera and later to himself. The Mumbaikar then sandwiched the same card in Siraj’s hand.
Later, the 26-year-old Iyer magically replaced it with another ca𒁃rd (a Joker꧂), leaving the Hyderabad-born cricketer bewildered.
Hailing this trick, the BCCI captioned their video as: “Weaving some magic with a deck of cards & blowing everyone’s minds How’s this card trick from @ShreyasIyer15 that got @mdsirajofficial stunned!”
