The players in today's cricket aren't simply superstars on the pitch but they also have a knack for stealing the show off it. The younger generation is highly active on social media and is well aware of the current trends, from Yuzvendra Chahal, exhibiting his comedic side to Shreyas Iyer’s dancing abilities.
Meanwhile, Indian young batter and KKR star middle-order batter Venkatesh Iyer recently shared a video his Instagram account where he was seen dancing to a song from Vijay’s movie ‘Leo’. Many fans have reacted to the video and have appreciated his dance moves, however, many have advised him to focus on his batting.

I can contribute in all the departments: Venkatesh Iyer
Iyer had a decent outing in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. At one point he was given a place in the team as an alternative to Hardik Pandya. But he could not cement his place in the team due to his poor performance. However, he recently opened up on it and said that he will surely make a comeback for the team.
“In India, there is a problem of plenty. And then when you look at Hardik, he’s got the skills to be India’s top all-rounder. And if I have to cement my place in the 11, I have to be as good as him, which I’m nowhere close to at this point of time. This is the honest truth and I have to accept that. But I’ll be working towards it. And once I’m confident of my bowling, then I think I can contribute in all the departments. It’s just about my bowling which I’m really working hard on.” Iyer told to Sportskeeda.
“I don’t see it as being dropped because someone else has come. See, everyone wants India to win and in order to make India win, they want to give the best possible combination. And if I don’t fit in the best combination, then what will I do being in the team? I don’t want to be in the team and just be there; I want to play and contribute. So yeah, I look at it that way. It gives me an opportunity to get better and give them more to pick me in the team.” he said.
