‘Ek point de ditta’: Shreyas Iyer’s sister trolls KKR after washout - Watch
Rain halted the Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Punjab Kings match at Eden Gardens, with KKR at 25/2. A viral reel from Shreyas Iyer's sister humorously claimed Punjab 'gifted' a point.
The washout saw Punjab top the table, while KKR opened their account but face pressure. KKR's batting struggled early before the downpour.
A light-hearted moment off the field grabbed attention even as rain had the final say in the clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens on Monday. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shresta Iyer (@shrestaiyer29) Soon after the match was abandoned, Shresta Iyer, sister of PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer, shared a fun Instagram reel that quickly went viral. In the clip, she joked in Punjabi, “Saade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda hai, lo de ditta ek point,” playfully suggesting that Punjab had generously “given away” a point after the washout.
On the field, however, it was a frustrating evening for both sides as persistent rain and a wet outfield prevented any further play. The match was halted with KKR struggling at 25/2 in 3. 4 overs, and despite multiple inspections and a revised cut-off time, conditions never improved enough for a restart.
The shared point helped Punjab Kings climb to the top of the table with five points from three games, continuing their strong start to the season. In contrast, KKR finally opened their account but remain under pressure with just one point from three matches. Earlier in the evening, the decision by KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane to bat first appeared to backfire almost immediately.
