In a dramatic turn of events, Bollywood actress and co-owner of IPL team Punjab Kings, Preity Zinta, found herself in a fiery online exchange during an impromptu #PZChat session on her X account (formerly Twitter). What began as a fun chatting session with her fans quickly turned intense when one user commented about her team’s chances of winning the IPL.
Yes, it was basically a troll who replied with “your team will not win for sure”. The remark seemed to get under the skin of Zinta, who didn't hold back, showering her support to her team. She swiftly quoted the reply with a mouth-shutting comeback that made the troll instantly regret his words.
Here is what Zinta quoted the trolling comment with
Her response not only silenced the critic but also showcased her passion for the game and with her team. Despite Punjab Kings never clinching the IPL title even after being part of the league since its first season, Zinta has been a consistent supporter who regularly comes and watches her team play year after year.
Can PBKS Finally Silence the Doubters This Season?
Zinta's dedication in supporting PBKS is remarkable, and this season could finally mark a turning point for the franchise. After what was a great Mega Auction, Punjab Kings under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer have shown great promise, winning five of their nine matches so far, where they lost just three, with their latest match ending without any result.
The team seems more balanced and confident, and the Punjab fans are beginning to believe that this could be their year. They will be back in action in an away clash against the bottom placed Chennai Super Kings, where they will look to maintain momentum and go another inch closer to the top four qualification.
