Punjab Kings co-owner and actor Preity Zinta has been and continues to be the biggest cheerleader for her franchise in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. She has been by the side of her team through thick and thin, but of late, a quote has been wrongly attributed to her.Speculations have been building around Rohit Sharma's future with Mumbai Indians after he was replaced as the skipper of the five-time champions by Hardik Pandya ahead of the ongoing season. Amid these speculations, a new report surfaced online claiming that Zinta is keen to have Rohit in her team at next year's mega auction.

However, on Friday, Preity shrugged off all rumours claiming she was willing to have Rohit, who led Mumbai to five IPL titles in his 10-year reign at the helm, sign on the dotted line.Taking to her official X handle, Preity posted, "#Fakenews ! All these articles are completely fake & baseless. I hold Rohit Sharma in very high regard & am a big fan of his, but I have NEVER DISCUSSED him in any interview nor made this STATEMENT !"
