Franchise co-owner, Preity Zinta, was seen cheering in the last two matches of Punjab from the stands. After her franchise’s monumental victory, she congratulated the squad and is now set to fly back to India.
Zinta, who has always been much supportive of her franchise, leaves no chance to be there in the stadium whenever Punjab is set to take the field. In all these 12 years of Indian Premier League, she has marked her regular presence in the stands. Now that she is leaving UAE, she has posted a special congratulatory message on her Twitter account.
“So proud of the way the boys played tonight Thumbs up Happy to see the Orange Cap & the purple cap in the @lionsdenkxip Lion face Congrats @klrahul11 4 leading from the front & for the unbeaten 132. I’m leaving Dubai with the biggest smile on my face Star-struck #ShammiCricket bat and ballThumbs up #KXIPvsRCB #PzIpldiaries” wrote Zinta.
Preity Zinta had arrived in UAE around two weeks ago
She also congratulated the respective Orange and Purple cap holders in her team. KL Rahul, who amassed a stunning 132* off 69 balls, is now leading the individual runs tally. Mohammed Shami has been remarkable in both the outings of Punjab so far as is the current holder of the purple cap. KXIP’s huge win against Bangalore has come as a great psychological boost for them in the tournament.
The Bollywood actress arrived in UAE around two weeks ago and completed her mandatory quarantine before stepping up on the field. A few days back, she was in the news as she expressed her anguish over the umpire’s incorrect call for the short run. She stated various technologies are of no use when a correct decision cannot be made on the field at the time of requirement.
It was that one short run that shifted Punjab’s match to the dramatic super over, and Delhi clinched an easy victory from that spot.
