India’s cricket sensation, Shreyas Iyer, has been in phenomenal form in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. His consistent performances have made him a crucial part of Team India’s journey to the final. Ahead of the much-awaited clash between India and New Zealand, a viral interview between Iyer and sports presenter Sahiba Bali showcased a lighthearted moment, winning hearts on social media.
Shreyas Iyer’s Response Leaves Sahiba Bali Speechless
During an interview with Star Sports India, Sahiba Bali asked Iyer about his celebration plans if India wins the tournament. Known for his calm and composed nature on the field, Iyer’s witty response caught everyone off guard.
When asked, Iyer cheekily replied, “How will I celebrate? I can’t tell you right now.” He then added, “I have stayed in the present, all the time.”
Sahiba, visibly flustered, could only respond with a lighthearted, “Aapne meri bolti band kar di” (You’ve stopped me from speaking). The clip quickly went viral, with fans enjoying the fun exchange between the two.
