Punjab Kings slumped to yet another defeat, this time to Rajasthan Royals in match number 27 of the IPL 2024 season at Mullanpur. The outcome ensured that they continue to struggle at the points table, finding themselves at number eight on the 10-team standings.

With regular captain Shikhar Dhawan being ruled out of the game owing to a niggle, Englishman Sam Curran was appointed as team’s interim skipper instead.

Regardless, Punjab Kings’ co-owner Preity Zinta believes that her team is in need of a captain who can bring “stability and a champion mindset” among her players.

Moreover, the Bollywood actress claimed that five-time IPL-winning skipper Rohit Sharma has those attributes, and she will go out of her own limits to acquire the Mumbai Indians legend if he was ever available at an IPL mega auction.

Preity Zinta hails ‘champion captain’ Rohit Sharma

While speaking on Star Sports , Preity Zinta claimed that she will “bet her life” to get Rohit Sharma into the Punjab Kings team if the cricketer was ever available at the mega auction. Expressing her admiration for the Mumbai Indians legend, the Punjab Kings co-owner stated that her team is missing a captain who can bring “some stability” and a “champion mindset” among the players.

“I will bet my life to get Rohit Sharma if he comes in mega auction. We are only missing a captain in our team who brings on some stability and champion mindset.”

As it turned out, Rohit Sharma has reportedly expressed his willingness of parting ways from the Mumbai Indians franchise following the IPL 2024 season.

If recent reports are true in any form, Preity Zinta might well receive a rare opportunity to fulfill her longing wish later this year at the auction.

As of now, her Punjab Kings troops are gearing up to host Mumbai Indians at Mullanpur in match number 33 of the IPL 2024 season on April 18.
