WATCH: Shreyas Iyer gets ‘Clean Bowled’ by his mother in playful living room face-off

Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer was hilariously ‘clean bowled’ by his mother during a fun-filled cricket session inside their house. In the now-viral video, Iyer’s mother can be seen bowling from the same spot where the video is being recorded, sending down a delivery that sneaks past her son’s bat and crashes into the stumps. The heartwarming moment between mother and son delighted fans on social media.

Among the many who shared the video was Punjab Kings (PBKS), Iyer’s IPL 2025 franchise. Posting the clip with a witty caption, PBKS wrote, “Only time SARPANCH won't mind getting bowled! 😂♥️.” The ‘Sarpanch’ nickname, lovingly given to Iyer by PBKS fans, was a humorous nod to the usually competitive cricketer taking the dismissal in stride.

From Living Room Laughter to IPL Heroics

The video’s comment section was flooded with appreciation, especially from parents who praised Iyer’s mother’s energy and passion for the game. Fans across platforms came together to revel in the cute moment, with many hailing it as wholesome family bonding and cricket love.
