PBKS co-owner Preity Zinta took to X to call out a quote mocking Rishabh Pant falsely attributed to her. An X user claimed that Preity called Pant a "big name" and Shreyas Iyer a "big performer" in response to Pant's suggestion that he didn't want to be bought by PBKS. "I’m so sorry but this is FAKE NEWS," Zinta wrote.
