In a recent episode of the iQOO Quest Talk podcast, Shreyas Iyer opened up about the challenges he faced when he first travelled to the UK to play cricket. “At that point of time, my English wasn’t that great. I was reserved as a person and wasn’t able to open up to people because of the language barrier,” he admitted.

Instead of letting it hold him back, Shreyas found a unique solution, learning magic tricks. “I used magic tricks as an icebreaker or a conversation starter.” It helped him connect with people, especially when he didn’t have the right words.
