After being nominated by Indian opener Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer shared a video on his Instagram story completing the “Keep It Up” challenge with a slight change. He began by juggling a tennis ball on his bat handle. However, as the video progressed Iyer made it difficult for himself by switching bat positions but eventually managed to successfully juggle the ball on the front, side, and back of his bat.

In the video posted on his story, Shreyas said, “Thank you for the challenge Rohit bhai. I would further like to nominate Abhishek Nayar, Shardul Thakur, and Siddhesh Lad. Let’s see if you can do it better than this.”

With the country currently under the fourth phase of coronavirus lockdown, several prominent cricketers, including Yuvraj Singh, Sachin Tendulkar, and Anil Kumble have all participated in this challenge, pledging to stay at home as long as it takes and follow the government’s safety guidelines.

Yuvraj was one who gave birth to the challenge and he further nominated Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, and Harbhajan Singh. Since then, everyone has been trying to make the challenge even more interesting by giving it their own twists. After being nominated by Yuvraj, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar aced the challenge with a blindfold and challenged the all-rounder back.

In reply, acknowledging that he challenged the “wrong legend” Yuvraj said that he might need a week to complete this task.
