Bollywood actor Salman Khan recently praised the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and their co-owner Preity Zinta through a post on social media platform X, generating excitement among cricket fans. This tweet echoes his famous 2014 post asking if Zinta's team won, which has since become a nostalgic reference among fans. Currently, PBKS is positioned second in the IPL 2026 standings, remaining unbeaten after four matches, with three victories and one match abandoned due to rain against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Their successful start includes a notable six-wicket win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad, where they chased a target of 220 runs. Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer and coaching of Ricky Ponting, the team aims to build on their previous season's performance, where they reached the finals but lost to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Meanwhile, KKR struggles at the bottom of the table, needing significant improvement to qualify for the playoffs.
