Watch: Shreyas Iyer's funny reaction to 2015 fan photo goes viral

India will look to strengthen their grip on the five-match T20I series when they face West Indies in the second T20I at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi on Friday, October 9. India lead the series 1-0 after securing a comfortable eight-wicket win in the opening match in Lucknow.

Ahead of the second T20I, a funny moment involving Indian captain Shreyas Iyer has gone viral on social media. An old video from the Mumbai T20 League has resurfaced, showing a fan reminding Iyer about their meeting nearly a decade ago.

In the video, the fan shows Iyer a photograph of them together, reportedly taken in 2015. Iyer initially struggles to recognise the fan and takes another look at the picture before finally remembering him. He then jokingly says, “Abhi tera chehra yaad aaya mereko. Dhaadi aagayi hai.” The light-hearted exchange has since caught the attention of fans online.

Shreyas Iyer fails to recognise fan from 2015 photo ahead of IND vs WI 2nd T20I

On Friday, October 9, India will face West Indies in the second T20I of the five-match series. The match will be played at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, with India leading the series 1-0 after winning the opening game in Lucknow.

Ahead of the fixture, an old video featuring India captain Shreyas Iyer has resurfaced on social media. The video, from the Mumbai T20 League, shows a fan approaching Iyer and showing him a photograph of the two of them together, reportedly taken in 2015.

Iyer initially struggled to recognise the fan and appeared to be trying to remember their meeting. However, after taking another look at the photograph, he eventually recognised him. The light-hearted moment has since caught the attention of fans on social media.

'Dhaadi aagayi Hai': What Iyer said and the story behind the 2015 photo

After taking another look at the photograph, Iyer appeared to recognise the fan and remembered their previous interaction. “Abhi tera chehra yaad aaya mereko. Dhaadi aagayi hai,” Iyer said jokingly, pointing out how much the fan had changed over the years.

The light-hearted exchange caught attention after the old video resurfaced online. The photograph reminded Iyer of their meeting in 2015, while his reaction showed how surprised he was to see how much the fan had changed over the years.

The video has since gone viral on social media, with fans enjoying the candid moment between Iyer and the supporter. His eventual recognition of the fan, almost a decade after their first photograph together, has also given fans a nostalgic glimpse into Iyer's early years.

Fans react to Iyer's viral moment as India eye IND vs WI 2nd T20I

The viral moment involving Shreyas Iyer has caught the attention of fans on social media, with many enjoying his funny interaction with the supporter. The old video has given fans a glimpse of Iyer's journey over the years as he prepares to lead India in the second T20I against West Indies.

India have started the T20I series in excellent fashion after winning the ODI series 2-1. In the first T20I, India's bowlers restricted West Indies to 171 in 19.1 overs on a good batting pitch. Naman Dhir was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, while Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav claimed two wickets each.

In reply, India chased down the 172-run target in just 14.4 overs. After Sanju Samson was dismissed cheaply, Abhishek Sharma provided a quick start before Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan took control. The pair added an unbeaten 137-run partnership off 67 balls, with Iyer smashing 102 off 43 balls, including 10 fours and six sixes. India will enter the second T20I as favourites, while West Indies will need a much-improved performance to challenge the hosts.
