The co-owner of the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Preity Zinta, fired shots at her own team as they ended up in another nail-biting finish on Thursday. Kings XI Punjab locked horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore in match 31 of IPL 2020.

Winning the toss, RCB elected to bat first and scored a total of 171 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in their 20 overs as their skipper Virat Kohli top-scored for them, smashing 48 runs. Chasing the target, KXIP opened with KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal despite having Chris Gayle in their ranks. The move paid off as both the batsmen stitched yet another beautiful partnership with the bat.
