Bollywood Actor and Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preity Zinta was visibly moved by her team’s blistering performance during their rain-affected IPL 2025 clash against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens.
Taking to Instagram, Preity shared a heartfelt tribute to PBKS openers Prabhsimran Singh and debutant Priyansh Arya, who stitched together a record-breaking 120-run opening stand that lit up the stadium.
“Prabhsimran has been with us from the start when he was a teenager & this is Priyansh’s first IPL! I’m so proud to see both of them play fearlessly & with maturity complimenting each other & becoming the base of Punjab Power,” wrote Preity in her post.
Prabhsimran Singh smashed a fiery 83 off 49 balls, peppered with six fours and six sixes, while Arya impressed with a composed half-century in just his first IPL season. Their explosive partnership was the joint second-highest of the season and the highest ever for PBKS against KKR.
Prabhsimran and Priyansh also climbed the IPL 2025 Orange Cap rankings to No. 12 and No. 9 respectively.

It is important to mention that PBKS will play the their next fixture against CSK on April 30, 2025 at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
