because of that tweet now every other franchise has started hating us. At the beginning of this season, almost everyone was rooting for Punjab Kings to finally win. But now people just want us to get knocked out.

Please just stay humble. Even if we somehow beat RCB (which honestly will be very difficult), please don’t troll them. You all know how massive and passionate the RCB fanbase is. We don’t need unnecessary toxicity. Just support the team respectfully.

Been supporting Punjab Kings since 2020 and honestly every season feels the same. The team gives so much hope, then somehow bottles important matches and it becomes emotionally exhausting as a fan. What hurts more now is seeing so much hate from other fanbases. Feels like no one even wants PBKS to win anymore after that whole tweet controversy.

I genuinely feel bad for Shreyas Iyer too. Yes, he made some mistakes in captaincy, but overall he’s still a good captain and player. The amount of hate and trolling he’s getting is too much. People forget how much pressure captains go through during difficult phases.

I didn’t expect myself to get this attached to a cricket team, but losses genuinely affect my mood and focus now. Expectations every year just end up hurting.

Sometimes I honestly feel like distancing myself emotionally from this team because every loss feels personal now. But after supporting them for so many years, it’s difficult to suddenly stop caring. No matter how much I say “it’s just a game,” the disappointment still stays for days. Seeing the team get constantly trolled and treated like a joke hurts even more as a fan. I just wish one season would finally go right for us so loyal fans can experience happiness without heartbreak every year.

Lastly I just want to apologize for some of the recent posts from the team’s official social media that may have come across as mocking or disrespectful fanbase such as 49/1.. sorry bhai aaj nahi.. this was unnecessary.
