Shreyas Iyer has once more shown that his entertainment skills extend beyond the cricket field.
Iyer's dance video with former India opener Shikhar Dhawan and batter Tilak Varma has caught social media users' attention and the trio can be seen dancing to a popular song by Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar.
The clip has already become the talk of cricket and entertainment fans. Iyer, Dhawan and Tilak are seen listening to the music and doing the energetic dance steps and enjoying it as a light-hearted moment away from the pressure of professional cricket.
The video has gained particular attention because it’s a combination of cricket stars and the strong Tamil-cinema bond.
Fans have been sharing the clip on social media, with many praising the players for their relaxed and playful chemistry.
The song choice has also added to the excitement. Ajith Kumar has a huge fan base and his films often become popular outside of cinema. The dance clip has thus brought together two major fan communities cricket fans and Tamil movie enthusiasts.
Shreyas Iyer, however, hasn’t had his first viral dance moment. The Indian batsman has appeared in several dance videos with other cricketers in the past.

Iyer has also appeared in other viral dance clips. He also danced with his sister Shresta to the popular Tamil song “Tum Tum” which gained a lot of fans’ attention.
Cricket stars are now increasingly becoming social media personalities as we can see in the latest video where behind-the-scenes footage and candid moments of cricket players can be as much of a topic as their performance on the field.
Dhawan, with a fun personality and upbeat social media presence, seems equally comfortable getting involved. Tilak Varma also adds a younger face to the group so the clip is appealing to fans of any age.
The viral response also indicates the growing link between Indian cricket and popular culture. Players regularly engage in online trends related to dance and music, and the online interaction allows fans to see a more informal side of their players.
Even if cricket is their main stage, Iyer, Dhawan and Tilak have certainly made the dance floor their own in this viral moment.
With fans still sharing and reacting to the clip, the Ajith-song performance of the three has become another memorable off-field cricket moment.
