Preity Zinta has shared a long note for Punjab Kings fans on Instagram. The actress, who is a co-owner of the Punjab-based franchise, said “loved the fight & the grit of our young team.”
Punjab Kings, led by Shreyas Iyer, faced Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2025 finals. PBKS lost the match by 6 runs.
Giving a shout out to the team, Preity Zinta said, "It didn't end the way we wanted it to but… the journey was spectacular! It was exciting, entertaining & it was inspiring. I loved the fight & the grit our young team, our shers showed throughout the tournament.”
She continued, “I loved the way our captain, our Sarpanch lead from the front & how Indian uncapped players dominated this IPL.”
"This year was unique. We smashed records even though we lost key players to injury & national duty, witnessed a pause in the tournament, transferred home games to other states & evacuated a stadium! We adapted & topped the points table after a decade & fought till the end in an exciting final," Preity Zinta added.
The Shers may not have taken the trophy home, but in Preity's eyes—and those of their die-hard supporters—they've already won hearts.

She didn't forget the roaring fanbase—the Sher Squad.
"Most of all a HEARTFELT THANK YOU to our - SHER SQUAD - our FANS that stood with us through thick and thin. Whatever we are & how far we have reached is all because of you, I promise we will come back to finish the job because as of now the job is still half done. See you next year in the stadium, till then take care and stay safe everyone. Love you all," the actres concluded.
