Kings XI Punjab’s co-owner Preity Zinta stole the show on Day 1 of the Indian Premier League Auctions. She was adding to the glamour quotient of the entire event with the spotlight on her. It was also seen that Kings XI Punjab was aggressive while they were bidding, compared to previous years. We also saw Virender Sehwag and Ness Wadia giving the actress company on the auction table. Kings XI Punjab made some big buys on Day 1 of the auction, but the biggest was using RTM to retain Yuvraj Singh for a mere Rs 2 Cr.
