The 44th match of IPL 2025 witnessed a stunning batting display from Punjab Kings (PBKS) against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic Eden Gardens. PBKS posted an imposing total of 201/4, riding on brilliant knocks from their young stars, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh.

While the duo entertained fans with their aggressive stroke play, another moment that captured the attention of viewers was the appearance of Punjab Kings’ co-owner and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta. As the cameras panned towards the joyous Preity, celebrating every boundary and six with unmatched enthusiasm, netizens couldn’t stop gushing over her timeless charm and passion for the game.

Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh steal the show

Opening the innings, Priyansh played an electrifying knock, scoring 69 runs off just 35 balls. His innings was laced with eight exquisite boundaries and four massive sixes, giving Punjab a blazing start. Matching his intensity at the other end was Prabhsimran, who smashed a scintillating 83 off 49 deliveries, hammering six fours and six sixes to keep the scoreboard ticking at a rapid pace.

The duo’s fearless approach left the KKR bowlers searching for answers, and by the time Priyansh departed, the platform was well set for a strong finish. Prabhsimran continued the assault, ensuring PBKS crossed the 200-run mark comfortably.

Amidst the onslaught, KKR pacer Vaibhav Arora stood out with a respectable spell. He picked up 2 wickets for 34 runs in his four overs, showing good control and preventing the score from escalating even further. However, the overall dominance of PBKS’ batting overshadowed KKR’s efforts with the ball.
