Mumbai, April 21 (IANS/WISHAVWARTA) Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has heaped praise on her IPL team Punjab Kings, which is the first team to be unbeaten in the first six games of an IPL season and in the history of the tournament.
Preity took to X, formerly called Twitter, after Punjab Kings defeated Lucknow Super Giants to continue their winning momentum at the IPL 2026.
The actress shared a video of herself from the stadium, where she was seen taking pictures with Arjun Rampal, her fans and hugging her players after they scored a season-high total of 254/7.
“Last night ended up being everything I hoped for & more. After 24 hours of travel I wasn’t sure if I could sit through a 3 hour game but the amazing company, the rocking stadium vibe & stunning game & victory erased all the jet lag n exhaustion,” Preity wrote as the caption.
She shared that she has to do a separate appreciation post for her team.
