Shresta Iyer, sister of Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer, recently deleted an Instagram video that received significant backlash from fans after she made a playful jab at the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) following a rain-affected match at Eden Gardens. The video, which featured Shresta and friends in Punjab Kings (PBKS) gear, suggested they were 'gifting' KKR a point after the match was abandoned. In her Instagram story, Shresta explained that the video was meant to be light-hearted but was misunderstood by some, leading to her decision to take it down. She expressed disappointment over receiving threats and negativity, stating, “I respect my brother and his team, and I don’t want this space to turn into one filled with negativity.” The incident reflects ongoing tensions between Shreyas Iyer and KKR, especially after he left the franchise despite leading them to a trophy in the 2024 season. Currently, Shreyas is thriving as the captain of PBKS, which has had a strong start in the new season.
