While Punjab Kings continue their strong IPL 2025 campaign under Shreyas Iyer, co-owner Preity Zinta has quietly scored another big win—off the pitch. The Bollywood star turned sports entrepreneur has brought Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell on board as a business partner in her sports-tech startup, Drive FITT. Drive FITT isn’t just another fitness app. It’s an athlete-first initiative that aims to revolutionize sports training and recovery through data-driven performance tools. Preity, who co-founded the startup, has already roped in names like Shubman Gill, along with Australian investors Mark Sellers and Dek Smith. The addition of Maxwell now gives it a global edge. In what marks his debut investment in India, Maxwell was clear—this wasn’t about the money. For Maxwell, this venture is deeply personal. He added, "Drive FITT is my passion project. It’s a place where performance, recovery, and cricket come together. The numbers didn’t attract me—the people did. For me, it’s about creating real impact, especially for athletes who want to train smarter and recover better."

That’s why Drive FITT’s mission—to blend technology, recovery, and performance—resonated with him. He added, “I’ve lived the reality of injury, and I know what smart recovery can do. Drive FITT’s integration of data, performance metrics, and recovery support is the future of athlete training.” Meanwhile, Punjab won their last match against Chennai by 18 runs, thanks to a fiery century from Priyansh Arya, who smashed 103 off just 42 balls. Shashank Singh (52* off 36) and Marco Jansen (34* off 19) provided valuable late runs, helping Punjab reach 219/6 despite a mid-innings collapse. Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis, however, continued to disappoint with the bat, scoring just 1 and 4 respectively. Their inconsistent form is becoming a legit concern for the team. Maxwell did manage to strike with the ball, removing Rachin Ravindra (36), but CSK’s chase ended at 201/5, falling short despite Conway’s 69*.
