Fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is very active on social media. He likes to post videos making fun of other players. Sometimes Arshdeep’s sense of humor becomes too much for him. Be it calling Tilak Verma ‘dark’ or trolling his teammate Priyansh Arya in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, it landed him in controversies. In Tilak’s case, no action was taken against him but he received a lot of criticism.
Arshdeep is believed to have a big role in the online hatred that Punjab Kings (PBKS) has faced in IPL 2026. Apart from all this, Arshdeep’s performance on the field has been quite lackluster, due to which he is being targeted by the people. Arshdeep is the highest wicket-taker of PBKS in the current season but his economy has been very poor. This left arm pacer has conceded more than 10 runs per over. On Saturday (May 23), in PBKS’s ‘do or die’ match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Arshdeep gave away 52 runs in 3 overs. His economy was 17.33. Arshdeep could not even take any wicket.
Arshdeep got hit from the first over itself
PBKS, which was counting its breath in the race for playoffs, decided to bowl first against LSG. Arshdeep, who brought the first over, was welcomed by Josh Inglis with a four. After playing two dot balls, English ended the over with three consecutive fours. PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer then kept Arshdeep out of the attack for a long time. He was given the ball directly in the 12th over.
In this over also, English took Arshdeep on the radar and hit two fours and a six and scored a total of 19 runs. Arshdeep had given away 35 runs in 2 overs. After this Shreyas called him to attack in the last over. Arshdeep started with wides but bowled three good balls. However, he conceded 18 runs on the last 3 balls. Abdul Samad hit him two fours after hitting a six. Arshdeep bowled two wides to bowl the last legal ball and his day went from bad to worse. He spent more than 50 runs for the seventh time in IPL. He is already the bowler who has given away the most 50 plus runs for PBKS and now his record has become even more embarrassing.
