Mohammad Shami shared a photo with Preity Zinta (Twitter/Mohammad Shami) Gujarat Titans pacer Mohammad Shami on Saturday broke the internet when he shared a picture of himself conversing with Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, who is also the co-owner of Punjab Kings, after the teams’ match in Mohali on April 13.
Shami, who represented Punjab between 2019 and 2021, captioned the photo,” Re-activating the old memories – Yorker seekhna abhi baki hai @realpreityzinta.”
In the match, Rahul Tewatia kept his nerves to wrap up a final over thriller in favor of Gujarat Titans against Punjab Kings with a six wicket win after Shubman Gill scored a second half-century for the season.
