'I was not abused by Preity'

Published on: 

Kings XI Punjab coach Sanjay Bangar on Thursday dismissed reports which claimed that he was abused by franchise co-owner Preity Zinta following their one run loss against RCB in Mohali on May 9.

"After our one run defeat against RCB, there was the usual post match discussion on the match with Kings XI owners. Some reports in the media have blown the issue totally out of proportion by fabricating a non existent chain of events," said Bangar on his Facebook page. "No reported abusive or disrespectful language was against me."

A media report had claimed that Zinta hurled expletives at Bangar after the narrow loss. Zinta too has rubbished the report.
