Why Shresta Iyer Got Trolled After IPL 2025 Match? Her Controversy Explained

Last year, Shresta remained in the headlines after she hit back at trolls following Punjab Kings' loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a match in the Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). Her brother Shreyas Iyer is the captain of Preity Zinta's team, PBKS.

After Punjab lost To Bengaluru, Shresta alleged that a certain section of fans trolled her. She had shared a long note on Instagram, slamming the people for 'targeting a player's family member'.

"It's honestly disappointing to see people stoop so low as to blame the family for simply showing up to support. Whether we're physically present or cheering from afar, our support for the team is unwavering. To those pointing fingers at me, your shallow mindset is not only laughable, but it's also embarrassing. I've been there for countless matches, India's and others, and most of them ended in victory. But I guess when you're busy trolling from behind a screen, facts don't matter (sic)," her note read.
