Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preity Zinta was a “comfortable girl” after her team registered a convincing four-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) within the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday. In what was an all-round performance, PBKS took an enormous step towards the IPL 2025 playoffs. PBKS have 13 points from 10 matches, and have 4 games left to play within the league phase. After the win over CSK, Zinta took to social media and expressed her delight over PBKS’ all-round show.
She praised captain Shreyas Iyer, who smashed a half-century, in addition to the openers and the bowlers.
“Yeahhhhhh!!! We won. What an excellent team effort ! Captain’s knock, Openers’s 50, a tremendous hattrick & stunning catches. What a superb chase on a tough ground almost giving me a final over heart attack. So proud with the way in which Sadda Punjab played. I’m a comfortable girl tonight. Ting!” she posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Coming back to the match, a hat-trick by Yuzvendra Chahal and skipper Shreyas Iyer’s 72 helped Punjab Kings to a four-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday, officially ending their opponents’ slim possibilities of reaching the playoffs.
Five-time champions CSK made 190 all out after England’s Sam Curran scored 88 off 47 balls but Punjab overhauled the entire with two balls to spare.
Iyer stood tall along with his 41-ball knock and placed on a second-wicket partnership of 72 with impact substitute Prabhsimran Singh, who made 54.
“I really like chasing on any field,” said player of the match Shreyas in the course of the post-match presentation ceremony.
“I feel like I thrive every time there may be an enormous total on the board and you should take the charge and momentum for the team for the remaining of the batters to come back and go full throttle.”
