'It is not small shopping, only luxury' - Shreyas Iyer names the biggest shopper in team ahead of 3rd T20I vs Afghanistan

Team India cricketers Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma shared the stage with Afghanistan players Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi and Gulbadin Naib during an event held amid the ongoing three-match T20I series between the two nations.

During the event, Shreyas Iyer was asked to identify which player shopped the most among the Indian contingent. The Mumbai batter did not hesitate to name his deputy Tilak Varma, highlighting the southpaw's frequent shopping expeditions and preference for high-end purchases.

"Currently, the biggest shopper, every time I have seen him going out and coming in with a bag, is Tilak Varma. And it is not small shopping, only luxury," Iyer said (via Cric-Mate Voice)

Shreyas identifies Tilak Varma as the biggest shopper

Tilak Varma, the left-handed batter, has been part of the Indian squad for the T20I series against Afghanistan. His recent promotion to the vice-captain's role reflects the selectors' confidence in his abilities as a middle-order batter in the shortest format of the game.

Shreyas Iyer himself has been a key figure in India's T20I setup, bringing experience and consistency to the batting lineup. The Mumbai cricketer's observations about his teammates during such events offer a glimpse into the off-field dynamics and personalities within the Indian cricket team.

The three-match T20I series between India and Afghanistan has provided a platform for both teams to test their strategies and player combinations. Such events, where cricketers from both sides interact, help build camaraderie and offer insights into the lighter moments away from competitive cricket.
