What did Shresta Iyer say about Shreyas Iyer’s future wife?
Shresta showed how much importance she places on her duty as a sister regarding Shreyas’ relationships.
“I’m very possessive about my brother. I want the right girl for him. Obviously, he will choose the girl, but when he asks me, I will tell him whether the girl is good for him or not.”
Additionally, she stated why she feels like she could judge the intentions of people around her.
“Boys talk of it that ‘men can tell you the intentions of men very well’. The same way, girls know the intentions of girls. And I have always kept girls with such intentions away.”

Obviously, he will choose the girl, but when he asks for my opinion, I’ll tell him whether I think she’s the right one or not, because only a girl can truly understand another girl.… pic.twitter.com/erCOLjQNwA

Shreyas Iyer’s focus remains on India’s T20I assignment
Though his sister’s statements may have drawn attention outside the game, Shreyas’ mind is solely on cricket. The right-handed batter has been appointed as the T20I captain of India, replacing Suryakumar Yadav despite the latter lifting the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
The captaincy hasn’t started well for Shreyas because India lost their first bilateral series against Ireland and then failed to win any of their T20I matches in the ongoing series against England.
With consecutive winless matches, it is the first time in India’s T20I history that the side has gone on such a drought of wins.
