Preity Zinta praises PBKS caption Shreyas Iyer, reveals her kids call him "Bhaiya"

Preity Zinta heaps praise on PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer, revealing her kids lovingly call him "Shreyas Bhaiya". Punjab Kings remain unbeaten in IPL 2025.

"He is an inspiring & strategic leader that leads by example. Intelligent, calm, inclusive & accessible to the whole team. - Preity Zinta"

Mumbai, April 27

Actor Preity Zinta has showered praise on Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer as the team continues its dream run in the ongoing IPL season.

With Punjab Kings unbeaten in their first six matches and enjoying their best-ever start in tournament history, Shreyas has once again impressed fans with his captaincy and batting.

Preity, who is the co-owner of Punjab Kings, held an interactive session on X on Monday, where fans asked her several questions about the team and its players. One fan asked about her experience of working with Shreyas Iyer, and the actress had only good words for the skipper.

Calling him an "inspiring" and calm leader, she wrote, "He is an inspiring & strategic leader that leads by example. Intelligent, calm, inclusive & accessible to the whole team. On a fun note, he is also incredible with kids, that's why my kids lovingly call him Shreyas Bhaiya and adore him (red heart emoticon)."

Shreyas has been in top form this season and has played a major role in Punjab's unbeaten run so far.

On April 25, Punjab Kings registered their sixth straight win after chasing down a massive 265-run target against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. The team completed the chase with seven balls to spare, creating the highest successful run chase in T20 cricket history.

With that win, Punjab Kings moved to 13 points with six wins and one no result. Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, are in sixth place with three wins and four defeats. Punjab also went past their own previous record of chasing 262 against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2024 season.

The team will next face Rajasthan Royals on April 28 as they continue their push for a maiden IPL title.

Shreyas Iyer has matured so much as a captain. His strategic approach and ability to stay calm under pressure are really paying off. That chase against Delhi was legendary! 265 in 20 overs? Unbelievable stuff. Hope PBKS can finally win their first title this year.

It's great to see Preity Zinta so involved with the team. The bit about her kids calling Shreyas 'Bhaiya' is a nice personal touch. But I do wonder if the team can maintain this momentum in the knockout stages. It's one thing to have a great start, but another to finish strong.

Shreyas Bhaiya for a reason! 😄 Seriously though, he's a gem. From captaining Delhi to this unbeaten run with Punjab - it's a redemption arc. Preity Zinta's appreciation shows how much she values his leadership. One small criticism though - hope they don't get complacent. Need to stay focused till the final! #PBKS

This PBKS team feels different this year. Shreyas Iyer is genuinely a calming influence - you can see it in how the players respond. And Preity's comment about him being 'inclusive and accessible' is important. That's what makes a great captain. All the best for the rest of the season! 🔥
