Preity lauds Yuzvendra after match win
Preity posted an image showing herself standing next to young Yuzvendra who was many years younger in the past. The photo featured the couple as Preity handed out the Player of the Match prize to Yuzvendra after their victory.
The actor described through his caption how the cricketer evolved throughout his many years of play. She posted on social media “This is how it first began compared to its current status ❤️”
Yuzi first met me at the Kings Cup tournament which took place in Chandigarh during 2009. At that time I had recently begun my cricket journey together with him who participated in under-19 cricket matches as a player.
The team has always desired to enlist him.
Through observation I witnessed his growth until he became a leading cricket player worldwide. I promoted his selection into our team since he brought intense competition yet his professional stars did not align until today.
The match reflected exactly why I had followed Yuzi throughout the years since he proved to be tough beyond measure during difficult moments. 🤜
I feel absolutely joyful because you returned to your rightful position @yuzi_chahal23 I want to see your smile and glow forever 💕 Bing !
The exceptional performance of Yuzvendra occurred on Tuesday. During the pivotal moment of the game Yuzvendra Chahal obtained four crucial wickets that led to PBKS securing their 16-run victory against KKK. The contest took place at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mullanpur Chandigarh.
The seventh over pitch to Chahal marked his entry into the attack at the point when KKR maintained their high score of 62 for two wickets. Predominantly known for his work with the leg spinner, he destroyed four batters within an instant for Kolkata Knight Riders.

The first wicket of the night fell when Chahal successfully got rid of the KKR skipper Ajinkya Rahane. The four quick wickets he claimed during his spell took the game in favor of Punjab Kings against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Good batting by PBKS despite scoring only 111 runs resulted in a great 16-run victory because of their powerful bowling performance.
Preity Zinta the actor and PBKS co-owner posted a heartwarming message for Yuzvendra some days following the intense match. During her recollection she displayed the photograph from their initial encounter which occurred in 2009.
The beginning and the present state of things occurred during Yuzi’s initial encounter with me at the 2009 King’s Cup tournament in Chandigarh. Cricket proved new to me at that time while he represented the under-19 team.

During this period I watched him develop into one the strongest cricket forces worldwide. Throughout the years I acted like his end goal should be our team yet he ended up playing for another team until he finally joined our team this moment. The recent match displayed all the reasons behind my years-long Yuzi admiration by showing his ability to thrive during challenging moments.
You bring me joy because you have returned to your rightful place at @yuzi_chahal23. My whole focus is witnessing your bright face and joyful expression, Ting! She tagged her post #Manofthematch and used #Saddapunjab, #basjeetnahai and #Ipl2025, #Saddasquad along with #pbksvskkr and #ting.
The whole team received credit from Chahal for their victory.
“It is a team effort. The team approached the game with optimism because obtaining 2-3 powerplay wickets would create beneficial conditions for us. Chahal stated he bowled four overs that cost him 56 runs in the last match while he trusted his expertise and abilities completely.
I keep developing strategies throughout the match to eliminate batters. The strategic change in my pace requires batters to hit deliberately when I choose a specific speed. After winning such a match the team sentiment remains elevated. According to Yuzvendra Chahal it was his first man-of-the-match prize for Punjab Kings and he feels confident about successful outcomes by embracing his skills together with constant self-belief.
On April 18 Punjab Kings plan to face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a forthcoming match. (ANI)
