After more than a decade of waiting, the Punjab Kings (PBKS) have finally broken the jinx! In an electrifying clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, PBKS secured a historic top two finish on the IPL points table for the first time in 11 years. Their triumphant seven wicket win over the Mumbai Indians (MI) wasn’t just a game – it was a celebration, a turning point, and a memory etched in the hearts of their fans. And no one embodied that joy better than co owner Preity Zinta, whose heartfelt celebration has now gone viral!

A Commanding Chase Led by Young Stars

Chasing a challenging target of 185, PBKS showed immense composure. The opening pair, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh, started cautiously, with only 18 runs in the first three overs. A brief hiccup occurred when Prabhsimran fell to Jasprit Bumrah for 13, but then came the game defining partnership.

Josh Inglis joined Arya and the duo took control, building a 50 run partnership in just 29 balls. By the 10 over mark, PBKS was cruising at 89/1. Both Inglis and Arya completed their fifties in the 12th over and stitched a magnificent 100 run stand. Arya’s splendid 62 off 35 balls was laced with nine boundaries and two sixes, while Inglis continued his dominance with a stellar 73 off 42 balls.

Though Inglis fell in the 17th over, the stage was set. Skipper Shreyas Iyer, calm and composed, smashed a six off Trent Boult in the 19th over to seal the win and book PBKS’s ticket to Qualifier 1.

Preity Zinta’s Viral Celebration

The joyous win wasn’t just about numbers. It was about emotion, resilience, and long awaited glory. Co owner Preity Zinta, known for her passionate support, couldn’t contain her happiness. Her celebration video – cheering, clapping, and beaming with pride – went viral moments after the match. It was a heartwarming sight for fans, who’ve seen her standing by the team through thick and thin.

MI’s Competitive Total, But Not Enough

Earlier, MI had put up a respectable 184/6, thanks to a classy fifty from Suryakumar Yadav and a late cameo by Naman Dhir. Suryakumar’s 50 off 33 balls and Hardik Pandya’s 26 off 15 kept MI in the hunt. Vyshak, Jansen, and Arshdeep Singh each picked two wickets, keeping MI in check.

Looking Ahead

With this win, PBKS climbs to the top of the points table and will now play in Qualifier 1, giving them two shots at reaching the final. On the other hand, MI will have to battle it out in the Eliminator.

For PBKS fans, and especially Preity Zinta, this victory is more than just a game. It’s a reminder that patience and belief can eventually lead to glory. As the IPL playoffs approach, the Punjab Kings will look to ride this wave of confidence and bring home their maiden title.
