In cricket, many times players try to provoke the players of the opposing team to take wickets or to make their team successful. However, many times this trick of the players backfires on them. They themselves get caught in the trap of the opposing player. A similar scene was seen on Wednesday (29 August) during the match between Mumbai and TNCA 11 in the Buchi Babu tournament. Where Mumbai’s star player Shreyas Iyer got caught in his own trap.

Shreyas Iyer caught in the trap of Sai Kishore

Challenging TNCA 11 captain I Sai Kishore proved costly for Shreyas Iyer. According to Sportstar, before the match between Mumbai and TNCA 11 in the Buchi Babu tournament, Shreyas Iyer and R. Sai Kishore were practicing batting in the nets side by side. Shreyas had told Sai, “Even if you keep a long-off fielder from the first over, I will still play a shot over him.” Hearing this, the spinner immediately replied, “You must do it.”

After this, during Mumbai’s innings in the match, Shreyas Iyer came to bat after Mushir Khan was out. Sai Kishore was bowling. Then the captain of TNCA 11 showed smartness. He did not keep the traditional long-off. He stationed a fielder on the boundary behind him. This benefited him. Shreyas came under pressure due to the fielder being right behind the bowler. He played a pull shot. The ball went straight towards short midwicket. He was out after scoring 2 runs off 3 balls.
