MUMBAI: Preity Zinta is not just known for her dimpled smile but always hogs the limelight when Punjab Kings cricket team performs. The actress who is the co-owner of Punjab Kings is very passionate about her IPL team and the cricketers. She has a reason to celebrate as the team emerges victorious over Kolkata Knight Riders which is co-owned by Shah Rukh Khan. PBKS defeated KKR by 8 wickets, marking record-breaking chase history in men's T20 matches. The match was held on April 26, 2024, at Eden Gardens Kolkata. Cricketer Jonny Bairstow may have taken the spotlight by scoring a century but Shashank Singh was equally outstanding.

Twitterati immediately went on a meme fest and commented on Preity's reaction after the team won. Fans first posted Preity's selfie with Shashank Singh which reportedly may have been taken after the match. The cricketer had to face a lot of trolling after being accidentally picked in the IPL auctions. Meme creators also showed Preity’s happy expression after winning. One of the Twitter users also commented, “Veer ka bharta bana diya Zaara nei”. The reference was to Shah Rukh Khan, whose team KKR lost to PBKS, last night. Preity-SRK were known for their cult classic ‘Veer Zaara’.
