A few days after Punjab Kings’ defeat in the IPL 2025 final, team co-owner and actor Preity Zinta has responded to the loss. In her latest social media post, Preity said that while the final did not end the way she wanted, the journey was ‘spectacular’.
Along with a picture of her team PBKS, she wrote, “It didn’t end the way we wanted it to but…the journey was spectacular! It was exciting, entertaining and inspiring.”
The actor also gave a special shoutout to Punjab Kings and Shreyas Iyer (fondly called Sarpanch sahab by fans). Preity wrote, “I loved the fight & the grit our young team, our shers showed throughout the tournament. I loved the way our captain, our Sarpanch lead from the front & how Indian uncapped players dominated this IPL.”
Talking about the team’s journey to the finals, she added, “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 promised fans to come back stronger next year, and wrote, “I am so proud of each and every player of Punjab Kings for showing so much character throughout the tournament. A big thank you to each of them and to our support staff and everyone at PBKS for an incredible season.”
“Most of all, a heartfelt thank you to our sher squad – our fans that stood with us through thick and thin. Whatever we are and 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. Ting!” she concluded.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Punjab King by 6 runs in the final to take home their first IPL trophy.
