IPL 2016: Did Preity Zinta abuse and threaten to sack Sanjay Bangar after one-run loss to RCB?
Despite eyewitnesses, both have denied that any argument took place.
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) co-owner and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta allegedly threatened to sack the team's coach Sanjay Bangar, after their defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Mohali on Monday. The ugly altercation peppered with expletives allegedly took place in front of the team as well as the support staff, according to a Mumbai Mirror report.
Upset with Bangar for not sending Axar Patel before Farhaan Behardien, Preity reportedly blamed Bangar for the team finding itself at the bottom of the points table. While both Preity and Bangar have denied that incident took place, the report cited a few people who said they had witnessed the spat.
Preity's team KXIP was close to winning the match and fell one run short of the 176-required target. Now the team stands at the seventh and the lowest position in the table.
