The social media drama heats up post-rain-affected clash at Eden Gardens.
IPL 2026 took a wild turn when Shresta Iyer, sister of PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, found herself caught in a social media storm. After the rain-affected match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings, fans were quick to target her online, leading to a backlash that turned personal. Shresta didn’t hold back, responding fiercely to the trolls while defending her brother and his team.
The Eden Gardens clash was a damp squib, with rain disrupting what could have been an explosive encounter. But the real fireworks came from the keyboard warriors, who took to social media to vent their frustrations. Shresta’s replies were a mix of sass and defiance, reminding fans that cricket is about passion, not personal attacks.
As the IPL continues, this off-field drama adds another layer to the already charged atmosphere. Will the trolls back off now that Shresta has clapped back? Or will this saga continue to unfold as the tournament progresses? Stay tuned, because IPL 2026 just got a whole lot spicier!
