Mumbai beat Vidarbha in the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to claim their record-extending trophy. Soon after Mumbai’s triumph though Mumbai batter Shreyas Iyer was seen dancing with his teammates. It is pertinent to note that Iyer did not participate in the summit clash on day four and day five after complaining of a back spam. It is being reported that the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain even underwent scans and could even miss the first few matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Iyer, after being excluded from India’s Test squad for the England series, scored 95 in the second innings of the Ranji Trophy 2023-24 final. However, fans were quick to see that he was dancing despite not taking the field due to an injury and tried to troll the 29-year-old.
Take a look at the viral video and some of the comments on it underneath:
