Social media has gone crazy over a sweet and funny video of Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer getting clean-bowled by his mother, Rohini Iyer. Fans can’t stop sharing this amusing video, which was taken during a friendly indoor game at their house and shows his mother joyfully rejoicing after dismissing her international cricketer son.
The Punjab Kings’ social media post jokingly called Iyer “Sarpanch,” implying that it was the one occasion when he wouldn’t mind losing his wicket. Rohini’s admirers flooded the comments section with praise for her bowling line and length, even going so far as to propose that she should play in the Test arena of cricket.
This unplanned demonstration of family fun coincides with a respite from Iyer’s otherwise rigors cricket schedule. He is now off international duty after leading his side to the finals and scoring an incredible 604 runs in the 2025 Indian Premier League. He was left out of the England Test squad, but he is anticipated to make a comeback in white-ball series.
among addition to being entertaining, the video generated a lot of love for Iyer by showing a more vulnerable, approachable side that is uncommon among professional athletes. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most cherished cricket memories happen not on the field, but in the comfort of home.
