Shreyas Iyer’s sister Shresta has become the centre of a controversy following a video uploaded on social media after the Punjab Kings’ match against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.

After the game was washed out, she posted a video on Instagram, and was quoted saying “Saade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda hai, lo de ditta ek point,” which translates to “Punjabis have a big heart. Take the one point.”

Following the backlash, Shresta took to Instagram, saying that she did not mean to offend anybody, and that it was just her way of celebrating the game and supporting her brother, Shreyas.
