Shreyas Iyer?s Sister Blasts Online Abuse Over Pbks Narrow Playoff Miss

Shreyas Iyer?s sister, Shresta Iyer, has responded to the online abuse after heavy trolling following Punjab King?s exit from the IPL 2026.

 The backlash started when an old ?banter? reel involving Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders resurfaced on social media after the PBKS missed the playoffs narrowly by just 1 point.

Shrestha later clarified that the video which showed her celebrating after the rain had washed out Punjab?s match against Kolkata and



gave them 1 point earlier this season, was only meant for a light-hearted fun-banter and not an attack on anyone.

In an Instagram video, she explained, ?the video that I had created earlier, you guys exaggerated it to extremes, when the motive of the reel was just fun.?

She further added, ?I was not trolling anyone, I had no bad intentions behind the banter. I was not spreading hate against anyone. I respect every cricketer because my brother is a cricketer.?
