Kings XI Punjab hit the ground running when the IPL Auction began on Saturday with owner Preity Zinta bidding for almost every marquee player in the early going.
At one point, KXIP had bought five consecutive players including India veteran Yuvraj Singh. Preity was a happy person after grabbing Yuvi for the 11th edition of the tournament.
She took to Twitter to show her happiness over the return of the Punjab boy.
“Yesssssss ! @YUVSTRONG12 is back home at @lionsdenkxip and I cannot be happier 😘 #LivePunjabiPlayPunjabi #VivoIPLAuction #BalleBalle”, tweeted the Bollywood actress.
