IPL 2017: Kings XI Punjab’s (KXIP) co-owner Preity Zinta is very closely attached to her team. Every year, she is present in the stadium for almost every home game and cheers her boys from the stands like a fan. In fact, after seeing her love and enthusiasm for KXIP over the years, it can be said that she is KXIP’s biggest fan.
Preity was caught in a very jolly mood during the match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Tuesday in Mohali. In a must-win game, KXIP defeated the two-time IPL winners KKR by 14 runs to keep their hopes of qualifying for play-offs alive. It was a good match to watch for the spectators as momentum kept swinging from one team to other. However, KXIP bowlers kept their cool and won the match for their team.
From KKR’s side, Chris Lynn once again batted brilliantly and almost took the match away from KXIP’s grab, single-handedly. But, Lynn got out in an unfortunate manner and the game slipped away from KKR’s reach after that.
In the 18th over of KKR’s innings, Chris Lynn stroked the ball from Matt Henry towards midwicket and called for two runs. But within a flash, Akshar Patel, who is one of the best fielders in KXIP’s side, picked the ball and threw it to the wicketkeeper who removed the bails before Lynn could make it to the crease. The decision was handed over to third umpire, who found Lynn short of his crease.
While the team celebrated the big wicket, cameras also captured Preity Zinta shaking a leg after the dismissal. It’s been long that we haven’t seen Zinta dancing in Bollywood movies, but this little performance might get her some new offers *wink wink*. Watch it here:
