The Indian Premier League continues to deliver thrilling cricket and unforgettable off-field moments. On Saturday night in Jaipur, a candid interaction between Faf du Plessis and Preity Zinta after the PBKS vs DC clash captured everyone’s attention and quickly went viral.

A photo of the duo smiling post-match surfaced online, and fans didn’t take long to dream up a film pairing. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “Someone please cast @faf1307 and @realpreityzinta in a movie already. He’s got the action-hero vibe. She’s aging like fine wine. Don’t waste this visual perfection!”

Faf playfully responded with: “Make it happen”—a reply that sent fans into a frenzy and sparked hilarious casting suggestions online.

Fans flooded the comments section with mock movie titles, memes, and Bollywood plotlines. Some pitched a sports-action flick, while others imagined a royal romance set in Rajasthan. The combination of Faf’s rugged charm and Preity’s timeless appeal turned the lighthearted post into an instant fan-favorite moment of the season.

While the on-field action had already thrilled fans, it was this off-field spark that stole the show by the end of the night.

DC end on a high as Rizvi stars in the chase

In the match, Delhi Capitals chased down 206 in style, with Sameer Rizvi hammering an unbeaten 58 off 25 balls. The 21-year-old played with confidence and flair, guiding DC to a six-wicket win and closing their season on a positive note.

Faf, who led the side in Rishabh Pant’s absence, reflected on their campaign: “Fifth is a fair reflection. We played good cricket but lacked consistency to crack the top four.” He highlighted how key phases of five to six overs often swung games in this competitive season.

Despite the loss, Punjab Kings had already secured a playoff berth. They’ll aim to bounce back strong in the eliminators.

As the league heads into the business end, this viral Faf-Preity moment adds a touch of sparkle, proving once again that the IPL isn’t just about cricket — it’s also about stories that stay with us long after the final over.
