Preity Zinta calls herself ‘fan’ of Yuzvendra Chahal; shares how it started vs how it’s going with old PICS

As a devoted follower, I’m thrilled to share that I, too, am a proud co-owner of the IPL team, Punjab Kings (PBKS). Just like Preity Zinta, my admiration for Yuzvendra Chahal runs deep, and I’ve long harbored dreams of having him as part of my team. Recently, Zinta disclosed her fandom for this talented cricketer, joining the ‘how it started vs how it’s going’ trend by posting some nostalgic snaps with Chahal. Take a look!

Following Yuzvendra Chahal’s impressive display against Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders during IPL 2025, Preity Zinta shared her admiration for the Indian spinner on X (previously Twitter). In a heartfelt message, the Soldier actress disclosed that she first encountered Yuzi in 2009. At that time, she was unfamiliar with cricket, while he was a promising under-19 cricketer.

Zinta wrote, “Comparing then and now – my encounter with Yuzi was at the Kings Cup in 2009, Chandigarh. I was just getting into cricket back then, while he was a promising under-19 player. Since then, I’ve watched him grow and make a significant impact in the cricketing world.” She also shared some vintage photos with the renowned cricketer.

Preity Zinta calls herself a fan of Yuzvendra Chahal:

As a devoted fan, I’ve long admired the spirit of competition this spinner exudes. I’ve always dreamt of having them on my side. Yet, somehow, our paths never crossed astrologically until today.

In simpler terms, “Our last game was a wonderful reminder of why I’ve been a long-time fan of Yuzi and how he never backs down when things get tough. It’s fantastic to see you back where you should be, @yuzi_chahal. I’m always eager to watch your smile and shine. Cheers!” – Zinta.

Previously, RJ Mahvash posted on her Instagram Stories and praised Chahal for breaking records at the current cricket tournament. She reposted a photo with the athlete and captioned it, “What an exceptionally talented individual. The top wicket-taker for good reason. Impossible!” As per online users, the radio jockey also sent him a bouquet of red roses as a gesture of admiration.

Returning to Preity Zinta, the actress will soon appear alongside Sunny Deol in the forthcoming historical action movie, Lahore 1947, helmed by director Rajkumar Santoshi.
