She's a true Punjabi at heart! Always supporting her team even when they're struggling. Shreyas Iyer as captain seems like a good move, he's been calm under pressure. But bowling needs improvement yaar!

It's refreshing to see owners genuinely invested in their teams. Preity Zinta brings that Bollywood charm to cricket. Though I wish Punjab Kings would focus more on building a strong bowling attack than just batting firepower.

Her dimples are iconic! 😍 But honestly, Punjab Kings need a better strategy. Chasing is always tough with their bowling lineup. That said, Preity's passion is unmatched - she's been with the team since the start!

Good to see owners actively involved. But I'm more interested in how Shreyas Iyer handles captaincy - his calm demeanor might be what PBKS needs. Also, Rajasthan Royals have a strong lineup this year.

Preity ji ka dimple toh world-famous hai! 😄 But seriously, PBKS management needs to stop experimenting so much. Stick with a core team. Arshdeep and Chahal are world-class but need support. Keep the faith, she's doing her bit!
