NEW DELHI: Shresta Iyer, sister of Punjab Kings skipper and India ODI vice-captain Shreyas Iyer<\/a>, has deleted her viral social media video after receiving threat messages, saying what was meant as \u201clight-hearted banter\u201d was widely misunderstood.The controversy erupted after Punjab Kings\u2019 IPL 2026 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders was washed out due to rain. Following the abandoned game, Shresta had posted a clip on Instagram joking that her brother\u2019s team had \u201cgifted\u201d a point to KKR.\u201cSaade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda ae. Lo, ditta ek point (We Punjabis have a big heart. So, we gave you a point),\u201d she had said in the now-deleted video, which quickly gained traction online and drew mixed reactions.\u2018Upsetting to receive threat messages\u2019<\/span>On Thursday, Shresta announced she had taken down the video, citing the nature of responses she received.\u201cI\u2019ve 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\u2019s been quite upsetting to receive not just negativity, but also a few threat messages over it,\u201d she wrote on Instagram.She clarified that the decision was not an admission of wrongdoing. \u201cI\u2019m not removing the video because I believe I did something wrong, but because I respect my brother and his team, and I don\u2019t want this space to turn into one filled with negativity,\u201d she added, urging people to be \u201ckinder and more understanding.\u201d\u2018No hate, just support\u2019<\/span>Earlier, Shresta had already addressed the backlash, insisting her comment was not aimed at Kolkata Knight Riders.\u201cGuys, I don’t understand why the hatred is being spread. It’s just a game. The videos are just for fun, and I am here to support my brother. I will continue to do that. No hate for any team,\u201d she said.\u201cI understand aggression. I wasn’t trolling anybody. It was my way of celebration\u2026 There were no personal attacks, just chill. Peace out, guys,\u201d she added.The rain-hit match at Eden Gardens was called off after just 3.4 overs, with both teams sharing a point.<\/div>\n\n
