Bollywood actress and Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta addressed fans following the sudden cancellation of the Indian Premier League 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the picturesque Dharamshala stadium in the north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh earlier this week.
The match was halted after just 10.1 overs due to security concerns related to the rising tensions between India and Pakistan along the border.
