The second qualifier match of the Indian Premier League 2025 took place yesterday. Rain delayed the match for nearly two hours before it resumed, with the final result coming in at 2 a.m. In this match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians, Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer became involved in a controversy.
After securing a spot in the IPL 2025 final, Shreyas Iyer’s behavior crossed the line. Following the victory, as he stepped forward to shake hands with the Mumbai players, he directed abusive language toward his teammate, Shashank Singh. Shreyas Iyer cursed Shashank Singh in harsh words, causing Shashank to collapse face down on the ground, unable to respond. A video capturing this incident has now gone viral on social media.

The Real Reason Behind the Anger:
A major reason lies behind Shreyas Iyer’s abuse of Punjab player Shashank Singh. During a crucial match, Shashank Singh was run out due to a careless mistake. Shreyas Iyer, who was upset at the time, took his frustration out on Singh after the match ended. Without even shaking hands, Iyer verbally abused Shashank Singh. A video showing Iyer expressing his anger, saying something like, “Don’t show me your face”, has now gone viral.
