Kings XI Punjab hit the ground running when the IPL Auction began on Saturday with owner Preity Zinta bidding for almost every marquee player in the early going.
At one point, KXIP had bought five consecutive players including KL Rahul for Rs 11 crore. Her enthusiasm did not go unnoticed and Twitter quickly latched on to have some fun of its own.
Here’s a look at some hilarious tweets:
