Shimla: Speaking over the interview before the IPL cricket match between Royal Challengers Bangalore of Vijay Mallya and Kings XI Punjab, Priety Zinta expressed her excitement and love for Himachal Pradesh.
Though Kings XI Punjab are still to do something substantive in the tournament, Royal Challengers have suffered a halt in the momentum with defeats in the last two games. Kings XI have all the talent in the world but it’s the form and the luck as Preity says seems to be lacking. Showing a positive attitude the lady considered the fact that they have lost six matches out of seven but she is still hopeful and the moral of the team is good.
When asked about her feelings for their next venue of the IPL matches i.e. Dharmshala, Himachal Pradesh, she smilingly said, “It’s like my life is moving in a circle. I left Himachal Pradesh fourteen years back and today again I’m going back their… I’ve been to Dharmshala and I like it alot.â€
However, half the tickets are sold out for the two Indian Premier League (IPL) matches at the neatly laid out Dharamshala stadium later in the month, many await an action packed outing in the Dhauladhars mountains to witness the advent of world class cricket even though problems of high end accommodation availability persists.
Raised in Shimla and originally from Mandi district, Disha wears many caps which includes being part of a lead team of a fast growing IT company based out of Chandigarh. Earlier Disha was associated with My Himachal and visits Shimla regularly.
Dharamshala Stadium: Constructed with a budget of Rs 50 crore, the stadium ready to hold its first international level cricket tournament has a seating capacity for 20,000 spectators and for being part of the crowd th tickets pricing ranges start at Rs 125 and go upto Rs 12,000 at the high end.
