As the dust settles on another high-octane IPL season, the emotions of fans and celebrities have once again taken center stage. Among them, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and actress-turned-team-owner Preity Zinta stood out with their passionate reactions to their respective teams’ performances during the crucial matches of the tournament.
After the Mumbai Indians (MI) faced a tough exit from this season’s Indian Premier League, their loyal supporter Ranveer Singh stood by the team with heartfelt encouragement. Known for his unmatched energy and unwavering loyalty to Mumbai, Ranveer took to social media to pen a message of pride and solidarity for the five-time champions.
“Wins and losses are a part of the game,” he wrote, “but legacy and spirit are earned over time. Mumbai Indians have always been the most feared and respected side in the IPL—and that reputation is not going anywhere.”
Ranveer, often spotted at stadiums donning the MI jersey and cheering passionately from the stands, emphasized that the strength of a team is not only measured in trophies but also in resilience, consistency, and class. “They may have bowed out this season, but don’t forget—Mumbai Indians are still the giants of the league. Every team prepares a little harder when facing them. That kind of fear and respect is earned, not gifted,” he added.
His message resonated deeply with MI fans, many of whom were disappointed by the outcome but found renewed hope and pride in Ranveer’s words. As social media poured in with comments from fans thanking the actor for his unwavering support, it became clear that for die-hard supporters like him, the team’s legacy transcends a single season’s results.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the field, jubilation was in full swing for Preity Zinta, co-owner of Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), as her team secured a much-celebrated win. The actress, known for her infectious enthusiasm and consistent presence at matches, was seen in high spirits after the game. As the cameras panned to her in the stands, Preity was caught gleefully exclaiming her iconic catchphrase, “Punjabi aa gaye oye!”
Fans of both cricket and Bollywood couldn’t get enough of the moment, with clips of her celebration going viral across platforms. Preity, who has become synonymous with passionate fandom in the IPL, later shared a celebratory post, thanking the team for their grit and the fans for their undying support. “This win is not just for the scoreboard. It’s for every supporter who believed in us through the ups and downs. Proud of the boys and prouder of our Punjabi spirit!” she wrote.
Her infectious joy stood in contrast to the heartbreak felt by MI fans, but it perfectly captured the emotional rollercoaster that the IPL is known for. From the loyalty of stars like Ranveer Singh to the unfiltered excitement of team owners like Preity Zinta, the league continues to be as much about emotion as it is about cricket.
As this IPL season edges toward its final chapters, moments like these remind us why the tournament remains such a compelling spectacle—not just for the sport, but for the stories, celebrations, heartbreaks, and unwavering fandom that come with it.
