IPL 2017: Preity Zinta and Juhi Chawla had a great time together in the commentary box.

They were both the favourite bubbly actors of Bollywood and Preity Zinta and Juhi Chawla have lost none of their effervescence. On Tuesday, the two came together to give live commentary of IPL 2017 match and more than the cricket stadium, it was the commentary box which was packed with fun and excitement as the two Bollywood beauties were heard battling it out and rooting for their respective teams. For the unversed, Preity Zinta co-owns the IPL team, Kings XI Punjab, and Juhi Chawla is the co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders along with Shah Rukh Khan.

In yesterday’s match between KKR and Kings XI Punjab in Mohali, Preity and Juhi turned commentators for UC news. Apart from celebrating every time the ball hit the boundary and fall of wickets, both Juhi and Preity played their own indoor match. While Preity aced the shots just like her team, it was fun watching Juhi imitating the mannerisms of cricketers.
