Smile to shock: Preity Zinta’s response goes viral because Punjab Kings fall vs RCB | Cricket news

New Delhi: Preity Zinta’s cheerful smile faded in a hurry to be seen as Punjab Kings had to face a nightmare in their IPL 2025 qualifiers 1 1 struggle against 1 Royal Challengers Bangalore. The co-owner of PBKS, who was initially seen smiling and cheered from the stand, was visually stressed because his team lost four important wickets inside the powerplay-Priyash Arya, Prabhasimran Singh, Shreyas Iyer, and Josh England-all were falling fast in succession.The collapse began with the dismissal of Priyash Arya. Trying to play a crisp drive from Yash Dayal, Arya directly hit Krunal Pandya on the cover. It was a simple tech, and Dayal gave RCB’s initial success, which he was looking for.

Things for PBK deteriorated in the next over. Veteran Pesar Bhuvneshwar Kumar dropped Prabhasimran Singh, who tried an aggressive charge under the track. The experienced bowler shortened the length from time to time, forced an edge that wicketkeeper Jitash Sharma reserved safely. Preity Zinta’s concerned manifestations were soon caught on camera, along with both openers in the pavilion.The pressure only rose when captain Shres Iyer Josh fell cheaply for Hazlewood. Attempting to raise a wild slogan across the line, Iyer handed over the ball to Jitesh Sharma, giving RCB his third wicket within the first five overs. Hazelwood was not yet done – he rejected Josh England with a small ball, which was strangely reared. The misunderstanding bridge of Engallis landed in the hands of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a long leg.

As the wickets kept on tumbling in Tulanpur, Preity Zinta’s tension was clear. From optimistic enthusiasm to deep concern, his changing expressions reflected the fate of his team on the field. Pbks, who entered the match as table-toppers found themselves under pressure, and Zinta’s body language expressed the early drama of this high-stake encounter.
