Preity Zinta Breaks Silence After Punjab Kings' Loss In IPL 2025 Final 

The Punjab Kings' whirlwind run came to an unfortunate end at the IPL 2025 Final. The franchise ended their league-stage campaign on a high after securing the pole position in the IPL 2025 standings. Shreyas Iyer showcase incredible captaincy skills, which allowed them to deliver a promising outing throughout the league stage.

Iyer was just inches away from leading the franchise to a title win and end their longstanding trophyless drought. But RCB stole the show as they clinched their maiden title win in the Indian Premier League. After the heartbreaking defeat, franchise co-owner Preity Zinta expressed her thoughts about the squad and its fanbase.

"This year was unique. We smashed records even though we lost key and 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.

"I promise we will come back to finish the job cuz as of now the job is still half done. See you next year in the stadium, till then take care n stay safe everyone," Preity Zinta said on 'X' [Formerly Twitter].
