How Salman Khan’s 11-Year-Old Tweet Became the IPL 2025 Anthem
With just one win away from their first IPL title, all eyes are on the final showdown. Fans eagerly await if the iconic phrase “Zinta’s team won kya?” will finally be answered with a resounding “Yes.”
The Viral Tweet Resurfaces
An old tweet from Salman Khan, posted in 2014, has taken the internet by storm again after Punjab Kings secured a thrilling five-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians, booking their spot in the IPL 2025 final. The tweet, simply asking, “Zinta’s team won kya?”, has become the unofficial anthem and lucky charm of the season, resurfacing whenever Preity Zinta’s team wins.
The Punjab Kings’ official social media handle joined the buzz, replying with a photo of Salman Khan and the message, “See you in the final, bhai.” Fans celebrated the moment with memes and jokes, with many calling the tweet a good luck charm. One fan remarked, “That tweet is aging better than fine wine,” while another said, “Salman bhai ne bol diya toh jeet pakki thi.”
The Qualifier 2 Thriller
In the rain-delayed Qualifier 2 match at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Punjab Kings chased down a challenging target of 204 runs with six balls to spare. Shreyas Iyer led the charge with a stellar unbeaten 87 off just 41 balls, including five fours and eight sixes. His vital partnership with Nehal Wadhera, who scored 48, turned the game, especially during overs 13 and 14 when Iyer smashed England’s Reece Topley for three consecutive sixes.
Josh Inglis’s 38 runs earlier in the innings also helped maintain momentum after the early loss of Prabhsimran Singh. Iyer’s final six sent Punjab Kings’ camp into celebration mode, with co-owner Preity Zinta visibly ecstatic, hugging Iyer and coach Ricky Ponting on the field.
Preity Zinta Praises Her Captain
Following the win, Preity Zinta’s earlier praise for captain Shreyas Iyer resurfaced on social media. She had described him as “down-to-earth, tactical, aggressive on the field, and the sweetest off it.” Iyer, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to victory last year, is now guiding Punjab Kings to their first-ever IPL final appearance since 2014.
The Final Countdown
Punjab Kings, co-owned by Preity Zinta, have never won the IPL, but her unwavering support has been a constant. With one win away from the title, fans are eager to see if the decade-old tweet “Zinta’s team won kya?” finally earns a triumphant “Yes.”
In Summary
Salman Khan’s nostalgic 11-year-old tweet “Zinta’s team won kya?” has become a beloved meme and symbol of hope for Punjab Kings’ fans. After their epic win over Mumbai Indians, the tweet is once again trending as PBKS heads into the IPL 2025 final, fueled by Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy and Preity Zinta’s passionate backing.
