For someone who has taken 33 wickets on the whole where it comes to overall Cricket Team duties in this year 2026, with half the year still remaining and not to forget 14 recent wickets as seen in the Indian Premier League, what makes Arshdeep Singh tick? Now, if you thought that it’s just his proven brilliance on the ground (which sometimes could be challenged when he is confronted with, in form batters and attacking batters on their day), then it’s not it. He is a cricketer who, besides being an important member of India’s white ball set up and one of the foremost Fast bowlers at Punjab Kings rely on has become a popular social media name. He has got the imagination of the youth. And he has caught the imagination of the youth. Both things are fact- and no randomspeak. He is able to perform under pressure which unfortunately may not have been. The case has seen most recently during Punjab’s dismal routing in the IPL, but is dependable bowler and someone on whom selectors and a team captain trust to deliver the best and the goods for the team.
On a popular note, Arshdeep somebody whose social media content is as catchy as the variations that his bowling craft brings forth for his team’s merit. He’s also someone who regularly updates the world about his life where it comes to posting on social media. But then put that very thing may have been the reason why Arshdeep got a bit of a tanking of social media and may have done something which is now capturing the imagination of Indian cricket fans all around?
Apparently, the following may shock you, especially if you have been following Arshdeep Singh on social media channels, such as Instagram-
He has deleted, as seen recently, no few than 240 posts from his Instagram page. That’s a big number. That’s a serious number and it’s something which perhaps points to a larger tail, which might be forming as we read this post.
240 Post deleted inside 24 hours, including a very famous champions, trophy, win celebration, reel, which featured the King Kohli himself.
If this does not point, a few more questions that may be developing, then what will?
Now, there are Cricketers who would trade all possible reasons of happiness to have Virat Kohli feature alongside them in a celebratory reel, which is then posted on social media and here is Arshdeep Singh, who deleted a reel which got him the most possible views ever on his Instagram account? So what may have been the reason behind all of this?
Well, apparently here is what is known. At a time where most people are wondering about the nature behind the recent actions taken by Arshdeep Singh, there are some who know for a fact that he came in a bit of a criticism as did some of his other teammates at Punjab King side for being so happy go lucky as if he wasn’t focusing hard enough on the IPL cricket, and perhaps focusing more and social media.
Not that that would have been the precise intent of Arshdeep Singh, but his joking around and being playful and documenting his IPL journey perhaps drew the criticism of those who admire him and expect him to perhaps feature focus a bit more on Cricket, and to seem more serious. Recently the great Yuvraj Singh, who’s been a part of the Punjab team in the IPL in the past also highlighted the fact that some Punjab Kings players are constantly vlogging.
Could this, therefore, have added to the much visible scrutiny that players themselves are facing right now?
Who knows. But surely, we may get to know the reason why Arshdeep is seen deleting posts ever so much as far as his social media account is concerned!
