Shreyas Iyer’s sister takes dig at KKR after washout chaos in Kolkata against Punjab Kings

Shreyas Iyer’s sister, Shresta, trolled Kolkata Knight Riders after their match against Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens was washed out by rain, with her cheeky post quickly going viral on social media. The IPL 2026 fixture on Monday saw only 22 balls being bowled, forcing both teams to share a point each, a result that gave KKR their first point of the season while PBKS moved to the top of the table.

Soon after the washout, Shresta posted an Instagram reel that fans instantly latched on to. In the viral clip, she could be heard joking in Punjabi: “Saade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda hai, lo de ditta ek point,” which roughly translates to Punjab having a big heart and giving away one point.

KKR and PBKS were forced to settle for a point each after their IPL 2026 clash in the City of Joy was abandoned due to rain and a wet outfield. The weather played spoilsport after just 3.4 overs, with KKR struggling at 25 for two when the players were taken off. Persistent rain meant the match could not resume, resulting in the first washout of the season.
