India on Friday edged past West Indies in a thrilling first ODI to lead the three-match series 1-0. The match at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad saw the visitors putting a total of 308 for 7 on the board after getting an invitation to bat first. In reply, West Indies were cruising at 133 for 1 at one stage but India bounced back to stay in the game till the last ball and eventually won the nail-biter with a narrow margin of three runs.
During an interaction after the match, Shreyas Iyer and Mohammed Siraj, both of who were a part of the match, were seen having a fun session. BCCI uploaded the video of the chat on social media in which the duo can be seen sharing a laugh and Iyer also showed his dance moves.
It all happened after Siraj asked Iyer on why he was dancing near the crowd during the game. To this, Iyer replied that some of the spectators were asking him to drop a catch. This is why he had had some fun dancing in front of the crowd after taking a catch.
