Virat Kohli Is Awesome, Says KXIP Co-Owner Preity Zinta
Following KXIP's dismal performance Preity took to Twitter and apologised to fans.
According to Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) co-owner Preity Zinta, Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is ‘awesome’. During an interaction session with her fans on Twitter, replying to a query, what she thought about Kohli, the actress replied: "He is awesome". Well we are sure she is not the only one who thinks Kohli is just awesome. The talented cricketer is known for his splendid batting and has fans all over the world.
Unfortunately, both KXIP and Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) failed to qualify for IPL 2018 playoffs. Kings XI despite having a great start to the tournament failed to capitalise and eventually were knocked out by Chennai Super Kings (CSK). They finished at seventh place while RCB took the sixth spot. Both the teams won the equal number of matches- six.
Meanwhile a video recently went viral on Twitter in which Preity was seen allegedly saying, "I am just very happy that Mumbai Indians is knocked out. Really happy.” Though the actress later clarified and wrote, "Relax! Only if Mumbai was "Knocked Out" Punjab would have had a chance of getting to the playoffs but RR was happier we were Knocked out by CSK cuz they got to go to the playoffs! When you leave it till the end one has to not just see your wins but other teams losses as well", she wrote.
Following Punjab’s dismal performance Preity took to Twitter and apologised to fans. "Who would have thought that after winning 5 out of 6 games, in the beginning, @lionsdenkxip would have ended the #Ipl on this note. I'm sorry to all our fans & supporters for not being up to the mark this season. Next year we won't let you down. #disappointed", wrote the KXIP Co-owner.
