Preity Zinta, the owner of Punjab Kings, has been in a serious mood during IPL 2024, especially as her team faces tough challenges. The absence of key player Shikhar Dhawan has been felt, and the upcoming match against the strong Mumbai Indians is a major test for the franchise. As the match approaches, an old quote from Zinta has resurfaced, where she expressed her desire to bring Mumbai Indians’ captain, Rohit Sharma, to her team if MI ever released him in a mega auction. This bold statement has sparked renewed interest among cricket fans and media outlets alike.
Preity Zinta’s Bold Bet: Rohit Sharma and the captaincy issue for PBKS.
Punjab Kings have struggled under Shikhar Dhawan’s leadership, sitting in 8th place on the IPL 2024 points table. Rohit Sharma’s name has been linked to other franchises before, including a remark made by Lucknow Super Giants’ coach, Justin Langer, who also expressed his wish to have Rohit on his team.
As the highly anticipated match between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians approaches, cricket fans are eager to see the drama unfold. With Dhawan sidelined due to a shoulder injury, all-rounder Sam Curran will take over as captain. The toss proved to be a key moment, with Curran stepping up in Dhawan’s place, winning the toss against MI’s captain Hardik Pandya, and choosing to bowl first at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mohali.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of this crucial match, but many are disappointed by Dhawan’s absence. However, Sam Curran’s leadership brings excitement as he leads PBKS against one of the strongest teams in the league.
