Shreyas Iyer embraces title of ‘Sarpanch', says cricket fans have offered to name roads after him if he wins
Shreyas Iyer said he had no clue how he had landed with the nickname Sarpanch Sahab, but said he was recently stopped on the road and told by 5 Punjab youth that if he pulled the IPL title for Punjab Kings they would name the nearby road after him. In a fun interaction with Preity Zinta, who asked him how a Mumbai boy who went to Kolkata wound up becoming a Punjabi, and earned the moniker of Sarpanch Saab, he said, 'This tag of sarpanch saab (Zinta said it somehow felt organic), Seriously I have no idea. No clue how I got this name. I think it came from the management. They gave me this tag…and it's just tagged along.' Iyer is the biggest Tamilian pulled by Punjab as their own, since their multiple Nationals winning state basketball coach, the late Subramanian Sir. 𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐏𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐒𝐀𝐀𝐁, Bas Jeetna Hai! 🏆♥️ — Punjab Kings (@PunjabKingsIPL) June 3, 2025 Iyer also recalled a funny incident associated with the name Sarpanch.

But commentator Sunil Taneja who made it famous, responded to the post by saying, 'I know a little about how that name came about.' Other PBKS fans also offered the 'Khicchhkee Sarpancha', an MLA seat, as well as lifetime Sarpanchship. A pind called Sarpanch Shreyas Singh Nagar was also promised to the captain.
