Shresta Iyer, sister of Indian One Day International vice-captain Shreyas Iyer, recently deleted a video from her Instagram account after facing online abuse and receiving threat messages. In the video, she humorously commented on the IPL match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), stating, 'We Punjabis have a big heart. So, we gave you a point,' referring to the match that was washed out due to rain. After the backlash, Shresta expressed her disappointment, stating that her intention was to engage in light-hearted banter, not to offend anyone. She emphasized that she respects her brother and his team and does not want to contribute to negativity. In her subsequent posts, she reiterated that her comments were meant to celebrate the game and encouraged fans to embrace a spirit of kindness and understanding, stressing that sports should be enjoyed without hostility.
