Shreyas Iyer's Dance on Ajith Song With Dhawan, Tilak Goes Viral

Mumbai: On the cricket field, India's T201 skipper Shreyas lyer may come across as serious and focused, but off the field, he seems to be quite the fun-loving person. Former cricketer Shikhar Dhawan gave fans a glimpse of lyer's fun side on Tuesday by sharing an old video of the cricketer showing off his dance moves at the gym. In the video, shirtless lyer could be dancing with Dhawan and Tilak Varma on Tamil superstar Ajith's song 'Chilla Chilla' from 'Thunivu' film. "That's how I bond with the boys. #OldMemories #Nostalgia," Dhawan captioned the post.

The cricketers' funny steps left netizens in splits. "Hahahah so cute," a social media user commented. "Hahahha this is so funny," another user wrote. Meanwhile, recently, lyer-led Team India T201 series win against Zimbabwe. India completed the whitewash with a 35-run victory in the third and final T201 at the Harare Sports Club in July, successfully defending 192/5 after restricting Zimbabwe to 157/7. Reflecting on his first series triumph since taking charge of the T201 side, lyer praised the energy and intent displayed by the squad throughout the tour. "As we saw how fearless they are, they are a young bunch of players who have been showing tremendous energy on the field and the intent, especially when you play back-to-back games. To have such kind of energy is what I require as a captain and as a team, and they could deliver today as well, back-to-back games. So, yeah, a special feeling for me to win the series over here in Zimbabwe. Clinical, 3-0. So it's going to be a special moment," said lyer during the post-match presentation. lyer said it was encouraging to see different players taking responsibility in every department. "Absolutely, it's very much required, especially as a captain, you see boys stepping up, taking that responsibility and winning the games for you. That's what you need going forward as well. So we have created the momentum right now, and it's important that we are consistent with our approach and attitude," said lyer. The series win marked India's third successive T201 victory after enduring six consecutive defeats on the tours of Ireland and England, giving lyer a winning start to his captaincy stint.
