Ok got it. But if I try this way by using shell module:

---
> - hosts: TEST_BOX
>   serial: 1
>   tasks:
>       - name: copy and untar latest deals.tar.gz file
>         shell: "cd /data/tasks/files/; tar -xvzf test.tar.gz"
>

It doesn't work and I get an error like this: Am I doing anything wrong 
with my above tasks?

fatal: [machine_abc]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "cd 
> /data/tasks/files/; tar -xvzf test.tar.gz", "delta": "0:00:00.022610",
