New Delhi:
Back in 2014, Salman Khan posted a tweet about Preity Zinta’s IPL team, Punjab Kings. It read, “Zinta’s team won kya (Has Zinta’s team won?)”
On April 11, Punjab Kings won against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match, and Salman Khan once again congratulated Preity Zinta – which sent the internet down memory lane.
On April 16, Preity Zinta put up a post on X after Punjab Kings beat Mumbai Indians, “Yes Yes Yessss !!!! Congratulations @PunjabKingsIPL for this win. So much maturity from @prabhsimran01 & wow @arshdeepsinghh. Happy to see you shine. Amazing teamwork under the capable leadership of Sadda Sarpanch @ShreyasIyer15 & @RickyPonting.
