Shresta Iyer, Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer's sister, is a cricket fanatic, as she has made multiple appearances for her brother's cricket matches, both in the IPL and for international matches. The brother-sister duo is famous for their cutesy bond on social media, and they made headlines again as they shared a reel on Instagram that poked at the bond between the two in a hilarious manner.

Shreyas' Hilarious Reaction To Sister's Challenge

On September 7, Shreyas Iyer's sister shared a reel on her Instagram profile that featured the PBKS skipper. The reel was about a fun challenge that said, "Smile if you want a new sister." The video saw Shresta whispering the challenge in Shreyas' ears to get his reaction, and guess what!

Shreyas smiled at Shresta, teasing her sister, implying that he wants a new sister. Responding to his reaction, Shresta posted the reel with the caption, "Kaise rahega re tu @shreyasiyer96." The reel was a fun activity between the duo, which garnered over 113K likes in a few hours and went viral on the social media platform.

What Does Shresta Iyer Do?

Shresta has defined her role as Shreyas' sister, as she religiously hit back at trolls who criticised Shreyas for being beaten by RCB in the IPL 2025 final. For the unaware, Shresta, the younger sister of the PBKS skipper, is a budding dancer and choreographer who has a massive following on social media. Her Instagram account has 210K followers, as she regularly uploads her renditions of various dance choreographies.

Shreyas Headlines As India A Skipper

Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer has been named as the captain of India A for the Australia A tour; however, his form might be a concern. Though he had the Midas' touch with his impeccable form in IPL, his recent appearance for West Zone in the Duleep Trophy semi-final saw the right-handed batter bag only 37 runs from his two innings. 

Nevertheless, Iyer will be looking to look past these shortcomings as he eyes a stint as skipper for India A despite the 2025 Asia Cup omission.
