Shreyas Iyer’s sister not holding back, trolls KKR after washout in Kolkata: Watch
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.

The dig was widely seen as a cheeky troll aimed at KKR, especially given the history between the franchise and Shreyas, who led them to the IPL title in 2024 before moving on.
FIRST WASHOUT OF IPL 2026
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.
Punjab Kings made the brighter start with the ball after KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and opted to bat first. Xavier Bartlett struck twice in the second over, removing Finn Allen for 6 and Cameron Green for 4, leaving KKR under early pressure. Rahane was unbeaten on 8, while Angkrish Raghuvanshi was batting on 7 when rain interrupted play.
The washout helped KKR finally open their account after back-to-back defeats, although they are still searching for their first win of the season. PBKS, meanwhile, moved to the top of the points table with five points from three matches, having registered two wins and one no-result so far.
Kolkata Knight Riders will next face Lucknow Super Giants on April 9, while Punjab Kings will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 11 in Mullanpur.
