Shreyas Iyer’s Sister Shrestha Trolled After Punjab Kings’ Elimination; Gives Fitting Reply to Abuses and Hate Shreyas Iyer’s sister Shrestha was trolled after being out of Punjab Kings, gave a befitting reply to abuses and hate

The journey of Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the league stage of IPL 2026 was very ups and downs. Under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, the team performed well in the first half and also remained at number one in the points table. However, due to 6 consecutive defeats in the last matches, the team was out of the playoff race despite scoring 15 points in 14 matches.

After this poor performance of the team, captain Shreyas Iyer’s sister Shrestha Iyer is being ruthlessly targeted on social media more than the Punjab Kings players. Shrestha has now lost patience after trolls abused her family, colleagues and students. He has taken on the haters by sharing two back-to-back videos on his Instagram account.

Why is Shrestha Iyer being trolled? (reason for dispute)

This whole controversy started after a match between Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR):

• ‘Ja A Point Ditta’ Video: Punjab Kings’ match against KKR was canceled due to rain, leaving both the teams with 1-1 point. At that time the position of Punjab was very strong. Meanwhile, Shrestha jokingly made a reel with the social media team of Punjab Kings, in which she said “Jaa ek point ditta” (Go, give a point).

• Accusation of celebration before victory: In the second half of the season, when Punjab Kings were out of the tournament after losing 6 consecutive matches, fans started trolling this old video of Shrestha calling it ‘cringe’. Critics said that he should not have been over-confident and celebrated like this before the victory.

“Abusive calls are coming to my students and workplace” Shrestha Iyer

Expressing her grief and anger over the continuous hate comments and interference in her personal life, Shrestha said in the video:

“This has now gone too far. The video I had made was purely for fun and not with any bad intention. That video was to support my brother Shreyas and his team. But for this, people are making lewd comments on my post. The limit has reached when where I work, people are making phone calls and abusing me. My family and even my students are also getting abused. Why so much hate? This is absolutely That’s not right.”

Frankly to trollers on brother’s victory and defeat and ‘karma’

Shrestha Iyer often traveled with Punjab Kings during IPL matches and was seen cheering the team from the stands in every match. Giving a befitting reply to the trollers, he made it clear in his second video:

A section of cricket fans has also supported Shrestha Iyer and said that it is extremely shameful to mentally torture and abuse a player’s sister or family for the team’s defeat in a game.
