Co-owner of Kings XI Punjab, Preity Zinta, has been with the franchise irrespective of the outcomes since the inception of the Indian Premier League. Preity has seen the highs and lows of the journey and often travels to various locations in the country to support her team.
She was in the PCA Stadium, Mohali, during last night’s match, in which Kings XI Punjab beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 14 runs. In what was a must-win encounter for the home team, Kings XI’s bowlers provided with the rescue act after their batsmen had set a decent target of 168.
After dismissing Sunil Narine, Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa cheaply, the bowlers of the home team were eyeing the priced wicket of Chris Lynn. Knight Riders required 37 runs in three overs when on the second ball of the 18th over, Lynn was run-out by Axar Patel. The 27-year old right-hand batsman ended up scoring 84 (52). His wicket was crucial for a Kings XI win.
There is no room for complacency as far as Kings XI Punjab is concerned. It is mandatory for them to win their remaining two matches. A lot of their fortunes will also depend on how Sun Risers Hyderabad turn up in their remaining match.
During the appeal, Preity was seen very anxious and following the dismissal, her expressions changed all of a sudden. Watch the full video
