Punjab Kings

Punjab Kings (PBKS), the IPL’s resident class clowns, are less about trophies and more about tickling your funny bone.

From auction disasters to Preity Zinta‘s pom-pom energy, this team delivers comedy gold faster than a T20 over.

Buckle up for a listicle of their six most side-splitting moments that prove PBKS is the IPL’s unofficial giggle factory!

1. The Shashank Singh Auction Snafu

Imagine PBKS at the IPL 2024 auction, thinking they are snagging a star.

The plot twist: they bid on the wrong Shashank Singh!

Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia were waving their hands like they accidentally ordered 10 pizzas instead of one.

The best part?

This “oops,” Shashank smashed 354 runs, including a 29-ball 61, turning their blunder into a blockbuster.

X users dubbed PBKS the “prankster kings” for this accidental genius move!

2. Consistently Inconsistent: The Rebrand Rumble

PBKS changes names, jerseys, and lineups like a teenager switching Instagram filters.

From Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings, they have rebranded more times than a shady startup dodging taxes.

Fans on X call them “consistently inconsistent. “

It is like watching a romantic comedy where the lead keeps dating the wrong people but never wins the IPL crown.

Keep flipping, PBKS!

3. Fielding Fumbles: The Slapstick Show

In a 2024 clash with the Rajasthan Royals, PBKS fielders turned a run-out chance into a full-on circus act.

Batters tripped, fielders flopped, and the ball might as well have been slathered in butter.

It was less cricket and more a live audition for a comedy sketch.

X fans howled as PBKS proved they are the IPL’s answer to Charlie Chaplin!

4. The Great Ball Heist Of 2019

During a 2019 RCB vs. KXIP match, the game stopped because wait for it, the ball pulled a Houdini!

Players searched like kids hunting Easter eggs, only to find umpire Shamshuddin had stashed it in his pocket like loose change.

The fourth umpire sprinted in with a backup, and the crowd lost it.

PBKS brought gully cricket chaos to the IPL stage!

5. Preity Zinta’s Viral Victory Dance

Co-owner Preity Zinta is PBKS’s one-woman hype squad.

After a 2025 win over KKR, she was bouncing around like a kid on a sugar rush, breaking the internet with her wild cheers.

Moreover, who can forget her cheeky wink at a player after crushing the Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2?

Preity’s vibes are so extra; she is practically the IPL’s mascot for unhinged joy!

6. Rahane’s Post-Match Roast

In a 2025 match, PBKS somehow defended a measly 111 against KKR.

Post-game, Ajinkya Rahane, with a smirk bigger than the scoreboard, told Shreyas Iyer in Marathi:

“We played terribly, didn’t we?” The self-burn, paired with laughing emojis on X, was pure PBKS magic winning while roasting their game plan like a stand-up set!
