Delhi: The question is whether veteran opener Rohit Sharma will join the team as the captain of Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the next season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). If Hitman participates in the auction, Punjab Kings (PBKS) co-owner Preity Zinta can make him a part of her team. This news has gone viral, which is now being discussed in cricket circles. However, Preeti claims that this news is fake.

The actress wrote on the 'X' handle, “Fake news. All these news are completely false and baseless. I respect Rohit Sharma a lot. I am a big fan of his, but I have never discussed him in any interview. Whatever has been written or presented as saying to me is not even my comment. I also respect Shikhar Dhawan a lot. He is now injured and is out of the field. It is wrong to publish such a report at this time. “Such reports are a great example of how misinformation is spread online without verification.”

He further wrote, “I request all media not to spread this report. Such news is shameful for everyone. I just want to say that the team we have right now is very good. Our aim is to win matches and perform as well as possible in this IPL. Thank you.”
