The IPL season kicks off in less than a month and there are a lot of changes this season. One of them is that Yuvraj Singh will now bat for his new team from Pune and not for Preity Zinta’s Punjab team.
The actress and her players return to IPL 4 with a brave face, but the fact is that they’ve lost out on quite a few of their regular players.They finished bottom in the last season and with no marquee players in the team this time, everyone is wondering about their game plan. They sure will miss Yuvraj, Irfan Pathan and Bret Lee. But team co-owner Preity is not bemoaning the loss of any. “Why is it always one way? He has lost out on working with us. We are still friends and I wish Yuvi well. In fact, I was really happy to see him perform well in the match that India played against Netherlands in the World Cup.”
Her team may not have done well last year, but Preity is hopeful of a turnaround in 2011.“I think we’ll do well. If I were to play, I would come first! As long as I am not playing, I can’t really comment.”
Meanwhile, there were rumours that the actress was looking at packing her bags and winding up her IPL sojourn by selling the team, but she insists that’s not true. “We were going to offload some stake, but not the entire team. I will never go out of it completely. To me, it’s my baby that I have worked hard on and given my life to. I just can’t wash my hands off it. Now it’s settled and in its own zone. Let me not get stressed out about those issues.” says Preity, who’s all set to make her small screen debut by hosting a show.
