Preity Zinta, co-owner of Punjab Kings (PBKS), is renowned for backing of her team in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, her passion took centre stage for a distinct reason during their recent face-off against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.

Zinta’s visible reaction to Harshal Patel dismissing MS Dhoni for a golden duck was caught on camera. This moment made social media frenzy, as numerous fans reacted to her emotional display.

Golden duck for MS Dhoni

Dhoni came to bat at No. 9 for the first time in his IPL career. During the 19th over of CSK’s innings, he encountered a deceptive, slower delivery from Patel. The ball’s unexpected dip bewildered Dhoni, breaching his defense and demolishing the off-stump.

The dismissal of Dhoni left the spectators in Dharamsala astounded. However, PBKS co-owner Preity could not contain her emotions and was observed jubilantly celebrating in the stands. Sporting a radiant smile, she applauded Harshal for his remarkable wicket.

After being put in to bat first, CSK posted a competitive total on the board. Ravindra Jadeja‘s aggressive innings of 43 off 26 balls, featuring 3 boundaries and 2 sixes at a striking rate of 165, was instrumental in setting the target for PBKS. Despite the efforts of Rahul Chahar and Harshal Patel, who both took 3 wickets, CSK managed to reach  167/9.

In reply, PBKS suffered an early setback, losing 2 wickets with only 9 runs on the board. Although Prabhsimran Singh and Shashank Singh attempted to revive PBKS with a 53-run partnership, it wasn’t sufficient to take them to the finish line.

Jadeja shone with the ball as well, conceding only 20 runs and claiming 3 crucial wickets in his four overs, restricting PBKS to 139/9. CSK emerged victorious by 28 runs, with Jadeja rightfully earning the Player of the Match award for his outstanding all-round performance.
