The match between PBKS and RCB in Qualifier 1 is going to be very exciting. Both the teams are in form and would like to leave no stone unturned to make it to the final. Punjab has the advantage of home ground, but RCB’s batting lineup can surprise anyone.
This meeting of Raghav Chadha has not only filled the fans of Punjab Kings with enthusiasm, but is also being discussed a lot on social media.
Fans had already started trolling Raghav by calling him “Jiju” when he reached the stadium to watch the IPL match.
Parineeti Chopra also shared that viral video and called the fans “sweet”. Now it remains to be seen how much luck Raghav’s wishes bring to Punjab Kings.
What is Raghav’s Punjab connection?
Raghav Chadha has a deep connection with Punjab. Being a Rajya Sabha MP from Punjab, he always stays connected to his roots. In this meeting, he not only encouraged the players but also celebrated the spirit of Punjab.
Raghav praised Preity Zinta and said that her leadership has taken the team to new heights. Preity has been the co-owner of PBKS since 2008 and her hard work is paying off this season.
