Preity wrote, “I’m sure it’s all the hectic travel, excessive heat n air conditioning exposure & constantly changing hotel rooms that has brought on the fever. It’s never fun when you are sick & having a sleepless night. Thank god mom is coming to see me & the game tomorrow (heart eyes emoji).”

"Hope I can make it to the Mullanpur stadium (fingers crossed emoji) since it’s our last home game in Chandigarh before we move to Dharamshala for the next set of home games. Good bye n goodnight to all the night owls (red heart emoji). I’m just gonna pretend it’s cricket fever n try to get some much needed sleep ……… and ignore all the fake news circulating online," concluded her note.

On Saturday, an X user wrote, "Rishabh Pant had said in an interview that i could go anywhere but not to Punjab Kings. But now Punjab owner Preity Zinta exposed Rishabh Pant and said, 'We had both Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer- options we could have taken in the team. But we wanted a big performer, not a big name...so we took Shreyas Iyer in the team." Reacting to it, Preity said, "I’m so sorry but this is fake news!" Preity is the co-owner of Punjab Kings.
