The hop push-ups challenge seems to be a new trend among a few Indian cricketers. While all-rounder Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli aced the exercise by competing against each other last month, middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer has become the latest Indian player to try it.

Iyer also added a twist to the hop push-ups as he performed it using sofas.

He shared a video of the same on Twitter and earning a lot of praise for his effort.

“#SkipperShreyas didn't really have to flex that hard,” the official handle of Delhi Capitals commented.

Shreyas Iyer was last seen in action during the New Zealand tour earlier this year. The 25-year-old will lead Delhi Capitals in the 13th edition of Indian Premier League, slated to be held in UAE from September 19 to November 10.
