Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta has urged “verified voices and media professionals” to act responsibly and avoid spreading unverified information amid the franchise’s poor run of form in IPL 2026.

The statement comes after Punjab Kings suffered their fourth consecutive defeat, losing to the Delhi Capitals following an impressive seven-match winning streak earlier in the season. Reports alleging a lack of discipline among players on and off the field surfaced during the team’s recent slump.
