What did Shreyas Iyer’s sister do? Shrestha’s action created an uproar on social media

The beginning of the journey of the new captain of the Indian T20 team, Shreyas Iyer, has not been good at all. The way Team India lost in the T20 series against Ireland and England, Iyer’s captaincy is under question. Iyer has been embroiled in controversies due to his statements but now the statements and some activities of his sister Shrestha Iyer are also creating trouble for the Indian captain. The latest controversy has arisen over Shrestha’s reaction on social media to a post in which lewd comments have been made towards the team players.

This responsibility was given to Shreyas Iyer by removing T20 World Cup winning captain Suryakumar Yadav, who got mostly support. But now this support seems to be gradually decreasing because despite playing 6 consecutive T20 matches, Team India has not got any victory. Now his sister’s statement and social media reactions are adding fuel to the atmosphere created against Iyer.

Recently, in an interview, Shrestha Iyer had already created a controversy by comparing the defeat under Shreyas’ captaincy with captains like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni. Now a new post on social media has created controversy. A post was made from some account on Instagram, in which it is written that Shreyas Iyer is playing with 10 snakes.

This lewd comment has been made about the rest of the players of Team India, due to which an attempt is being made to show that the other 10 players of the playing-11 are not supporting Iyer. But the real uproar has arisen over the alleged reaction of Shrestha Iyer. It is being claimed that Shrestha has liked this Instagram post, which means that she is supporting the fact that the other players are deliberately playing poorly under the captaincy of Shreyas.

However, it is also being said that after the controversy escalated, Shrestha removed her like from this post i.e. unliked it. Now, it is difficult to say how much truth is there in both these claims. But for the last few months, Shrestha has been in the news for supporting her brother. Even during IPL 2026, there was an uproar over one of his videos related to Punjab Kings, which later had to be removed.
