🔥 ‘Bad Karma Will Hit You Too!’ — Shreyas Iyer’s Sister Shresta SNAPS at Online Trolls After Receiving THREAT CALLS Over IPL Video!

She posted one fun video cheering for her brother’s team — and the internet decided to make her life hell. Shresta Iyer, sister of Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer, has hit back hard at online abusers after receiving a wave of trolling, hateful messages, and even threat calls on her work number — all because of a lighthearted Punjabi banter video after an IPL rain washout. This is the story of how Shresta Iyer’s IPL trolls took things way too far, and why her fiery response has the whole country talking.

The Video That Started It All: Shresta Iyer’s ‘One Point’ Banter

It all began back in April 2026 after the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings match at Eden Gardens was called off due to rain. Both teams shared one point from the washout — and Shresta, in high spirits supporting her brother Shreyas Iyer, posted a cheeky video on Instagram.

In the clip, she said in Punjabi: “Saade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda ae. Lo, ditta ek point.” Translated: “We Punjabis have a big heart. So, we gave you one point.”

It was playful. It was cheeky. It was literally just cricket banter — the kind fans do every single day online. But a section of KKR supporters did not take it kindly, flooding her comments with abuse and criticism.

Shresta acted fast. She deleted the video and wrote on Instagram: “I’ve decided to take down my recent video as it seems it was misunderstood by some. It was meant to be light-hearted banter, but I respect that not everyone saw it that way. However, it’s been quite upsetting to receive not just negativity, but also a few threat messages over it. That’s something I didn’t expect, especially for something that was never intended to harm anyone.”

‘Harassing Me and My People’ — When Trolling Crossed a Dangerous Line

Punjab Kings were eliminated from the IPL 2026 playoffs by just one point — the very same one-point they had “given away” in the KKR washout. In a cruel twist of fate, that one point would have taken them into the playoffs over Rajasthan Royals. PBKS fans were heartbroken, and many directed their fury at Shresta, calling her a “bad luck charm” and digging out the old video to pour more abuse on her.

The situation spiralled from online trolling into real-world harassment. People tracked down her work phone number and started sending threat calls. Her professional colleagues began receiving abusive messages. And through all of it, Shresta watched as strangers blamed her — a supporter, a sister — for her brother’s team’s loss.

She had enough. Posting two lengthy response videos on Instagram, Shresta Iyer delivered her most powerful message yet:

“You are literally harassing me and my people. Aap log team ke har ya jeet ke liye family ko blame kar dete ho — ya player ke batting performance ke liye unki wives, sisters ya family ko blame karne lag jaate ho. Main hamesha apne bhai ko support karungi. Jab bhi woh jeetega, main celebrate karungi, aur jab bhi woh harega tab bhi usko support karungi.”

Translation: “You guys blame the family for a team’s win or loss, or blame players’ wives, sisters and family for batting performances. I will always support my brother. Whenever he wins, I’ll celebrate. Whenever he loses, I’ll still support him — because I will always be consistent in my support.”

The irony is brutal. The one point from the rain-affected KKR match — the point Shresta joked about in her video — turned out to be the difference between PBKS reaching the playoffs and missing out. KKR fans called it karma. PBKS fans called it tragedy. Either way, it had absolutely nothing to do with Shresta Iyer.

Social Media Reacts: Fans Divided Over Shresta Iyer Trolling

‘Jobless, Frustrated People’ — Shresta’s Full Fiery Takedown

Shresta didn’t hold back. In her second response video, she addressed the quality of the people sending her abuse:

“If you read those comments, you will understand that there are so many bad comments. And there are so many people there who are frustrated, jobless, who have nothing to do. I pity you guys. I genuinely pity you guys.”

She then made it clear that her main concern wasn’t even herself — it was the colleagues and professionals in her circle who were being dragged into this mess unfairly. People had been contacting her workplace. Abusing her family. Making real-world consequences from a cricket fan’s banter post.

And in a warning that landed with full force: “Bad karma will hit you too.”

Background: Who is Shresta Iyer, and Why Does Any of This Matter?

Shresta Iyer is the younger sister of Indian international cricketer and Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer, one of the most successful players in IPL 2026. Shreyas scored 498 runs at an average of 55.33 this season, including a stunning unbeaten century against LSG — his maiden IPL hundred. He carried the team almost single-handedly through multiple crunch games.

PBKS started the season on fire — six wins in their first six games, sitting at the top of the table with 13 points and the entire country behind them. But a brutal mid-season collapse of six consecutive defeats shattered their campaign. A late comeback wasn’t enough. They finished 5th, just one point behind Rajasthan Royals who claimed the final playoff spot.

Shresta, throughout the season, had been one of the most visible and passionate supporters in the stands and on social media. She attended matches, posted celebrations, and wore her support for Shreyas and PBKS proudly. The fact that cricket fans turned that passion into a target for abuse says a great deal about the ugly side of IPL fandom.

What Happens Next: The Online Abuse Problem in Indian Cricket

This is not the first time cricketers’ families have been targeted online, and it will not be the last unless something changes. Players’ wives, sisters, and mothers have routinely become collateral damage in fan wars — subjected to harassment, abuse, and real-world threats simply because they support a loved one. The Shresta Iyer case has reignited the conversation about where the line is, and why more platforms and cricket bodies need to take online abuse against cricketers’ families seriously.

Shresta herself made it clear she won’t be silenced: “Main hamesha apne bhai ko support karungi. Jab bhi woh jeetega, main celebrate karungi.” — “I will always support my brother. Whenever he wins, I’ll celebrate.”

That is not something any cricket fan — KKR or PBKS — should have a problem with. Shresta Iyer owes the internet nothing. The trolls owe her an apology.
