Preity Zinta’s Competitive Bidding In IPL Auction Has Twitter ROFL-ing With Jokes

Cricket in India is not just a sport but a religion. The entertainment of watching the players showcase their skills on the field has increased manifold with the inception of the IPL. The amalgamation of players from different countries has increased the appeal of the game so much that we dread missing even a minute of it.

Also, throwing Bollywood stars into the mix has enabled IPL to wiggle its way into the hearts of people. Remember how crazy the fans of SRK went after the Kolkata Knight Riders came out with their anthem “Korbo Lorbo Jeetbo re”?

But as much as we adore Shah Rukh, the star of the moment in IPL history is none other than the co-owner of Kings XI Punjab, Preity Zinta. Seems like this IPL, Preity has pulled up her socks and is ready to give the other teams a run for their money. Literally!

Apparently, this year’s auction saw the actress in her competitive spirit as she could not stop bidding on players. Since we live in the digital age, this earnestness in Zinta has Twitter tripping. It was not long before Twitter was flooded with jokes about the auction and if I say so myself, they are hilarious!

1. That competition though!

2. Damn!

3. Tumhe koi haq nahi banta ki tum saare players ko le jao. Not fair!

4. Staahp Zinta. Just Staahp!

5. Must be the money!

6. Oopsies.

On another note, if you’re thinking Preity hasn’t been keeping tabs on Twitter you got another thing coming.

Because how can they not? They have every other player on their roster. We don’t want Viru Paaji to feel left out. But, only time will tell if such a strategy was worth it!
