On Tuesday, Yuzvendra turned the game on its head with an impressive bowling performance, taking four key wickets to lead PBKS to a 16-run victory over KKK at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

Before this match, Yuzvendra had only managed two wickets this season, but he stepped up big time, finishing with figures of 4/28. His efforts were crucial in helping his team defend the lowest total ever recorded in IPL history. KKR, chasing a modest target of 112, faltered from a solid 72/3 after 9 overs to collapse to 95 all out in just 15.1 overs.

Franchise co-owner Preity was overjoyed after the win. She rushed onto the field to share a heartfelt hug and a quick chat with Yuzvendra. This touching moment was caught on camera and quickly went viral on social media, with fans celebrating the connection between her and the players. In one clip, she was seen reliving the match's excitement, her hands shaking as she recounted the thrilling moments.

One fan expressed, "I couldn't have asked for a more perfect ending," while another added, "Pretty Zinta is such an amazing owner..."
