Punjab Kings are now under the spotlight and it is not due to their performances. Over the last few games, the team surely has lost a number of them. But along with that, a famous journalist tweeted about the things which have been going on in the team's camp. Like the players missing practice, playing video games till the morning, and more.

However, all of these rumours didn't go unnoticed for a long time. Punjab Kings responded to all these allegations indirectly with their recent tweet. Along with that, Preity Zinta, the team owner, also stepped up in this matter, speaking against the things which are happening against PBKS and its players.
Mam, Please verify this as Well.

- That one PBKS coach asked you “Dont teach me cricket.”
- You even called a BCCI official saying that some players were involved in fixing. pic.twitter.com/Fs0XgMS6lW https://t.co/qlO9n368MQ
But the tweets made by Preity Zinta have also been targeted by Twitter users. One of them even responded to the same by saying that there was a PBKS coach who once told her not to teach him cricket. He also remembered the incident when Preity Zinta called a BCCI official to inform that some of her players were allegedly involved in match fixing.
Our Take
With the team being on the headlines for a long time, it was necessary for Preity Zinta and the official page to step in this matter. The main reason why they are in the headlines is due to the performance issues. And now they will be eager to regain form in the next game and make it to the IPL playoffs.
