Faf Du Plessis Reacts To Stunning Request After Pic With Preity Zinta Goes Viral: "Make It..."
Delhi Capitals batter Faf Du Plessis came up with a brilliant answer to a social media user's request after his picture with Punjab Kings owner Preity Zinta went viral. During the match between the two teams in IPL 2025 on Saturday, a picture of both team standing side by side caught the fans' attention and a social media user even suggested that they should star in a Bollywood movie together. "Someone please cast @faf1307 and @realpreityzinta in a movie already. He's got the action-hero vibe. She's aging like fine wine. Put them in a sports drama or a royal romance — don't waste this visual perfection!" the fan posted.

Du Plessis responded to the suggestion in a cheeky manner: "Make it happen".
After Punjab Kings (PBKS) suffered a six-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals (DC) in Jaipur, skipper Shreyas Iyer admitted that despite putting up a strong total on the board, the team fell short in execution with the ball. Delhi, already out of playoff contention, chased down the 207-run target in 19.3 overs.
Speaking after the match, Iyer said, "207 was a fantastic score on this wicket. There was some variable bounce and it wasn't coming on at the same pace. We weren't disciplined enough with ball," as quoted from ESPNcricinfo.
Despite assessing the pitch conditions well, Iyer felt his bowlers deviated from the original plan.
"We assessed the wicket and decided to bowl hard lengths at the stumps, but we went overboard with bouncers trying to take wickets," he explained, suggesting that the aggressive approach backfired on a surface that required more control.
Punjab have already secured a spot in the playoffs. A top-two finish is no longer guaranteed for Punjab. PBKS will need not only a win but also favourable
