Shreyas Iyer’s Sister Expresses Distress Over Trolling

Punjab Kings’ campaign in IPL 2026 ended in the league stage, but apart from the team’s performance, a video posted by Shrestha Iyer, sister of captain Shreyas Iyer, sparked a major controversy on social media. The video, reportedly aimed at KKR, led to widespread trolling and criticism, drawing significant attention online.

Responding to the backlash, Shrestha Iyer expressed her distress and clarified that the video was meant purely in a light hearted manner, with no intention to insult anyone. She stated that she respects all cricketers, especially as her brother is also a professional player. However, she said the trolling has crossed limits, with people harassing her at her workplace and abusing her family and friends. She urged people to stop the trolling and maintain basic decency.
