Overview
- Shresta Iyer, who posted a Punjabi clip after Monday's rain-hit Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders match, said Tuesday that it was made in jest.
- In the short video she said, “Saade Punjabiyan da dil vadda hunda hai, lo de ditta ek point,” which translates to giving KKR one point out of generosity.
- Some KKR supporters online called the line a personal dig at the franchise, which thrust her into the spotlight on social media.
- She later said on Instagram that she was supporting her brother and that the post was a celebration, not a personal attack.
- The washout at Eden Gardens came with KKR 25 for 2 after Xavier Bartlett’s early strikes, so both teams took a point and Punjab Kings stayed unbeaten at the top early in the season.
