Punjab Kings (PBKS) star spinner Yuzvendra Chahal once more showed his playful side throughout the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026. The leg-spinner jokingly requested a gap slot from the team’s co-owner Preity Zinta during a social media Q&A session.
Zinta responded in the identical light-hearted spirit, saying she would consider his request, but only after the present season involves an end. Just a few days after PBKS successfully chased down 265 against Delhi Capitals, Zinta took to X and wrote:
“Today looks as if an ideal day for an impromptu #pzchat! Bring on the questions, folks.”
Chahal further replied:
“Mam ek match mein open batting karne ka probability mil jaaye toh (Ma’m, see if I can get a chance to open the innings.).”
Mam ek match mein open batting karne ka probability mil jaaye toh 🥹🤣🤣😁 #pzchat

Zinta further replied:
“Needless to say, Yuzi. Anything for you. IPL Khatam hone do, uske baad (let the IPL finish, after which we’ll do this) whichever match you want, I’m sure Prabh & Priyansh won’t mind then.”
Needless to say Yuzi ❤️ Anything for you. IPL Khatam hone do, uske baad whichever match you want 😂I’m sure Prabh & Priyansh won’t mind then 🤩😂 #Ting

“Calm & Inclusive”: Preity Zinta Hails Shreyas Iyer
Preity Zinta also praised PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer for his leadership, describing him as a sensible, composed, and approachable strategist. She shared these thoughts in one other post on X:
“He’s an inspiring & strategic leader that leads by example. Intelligent, calm, inclusive & accessible to the entire team. On a fun note, he can be incredible with kids; that’s why my kids lovingly call him Shreyas Bhaiya and adore him.”

After leading PBKS to the IPL 2025 final, Shreyas Iyer has continued his effective form this season, guiding the team to 6 wins in seven matches, including a rain-hit game against Kolkata Knight Riders. They may aim to hold this momentum into their home clash against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday, April 28.
