Arshdeep Singh Faces Backlash Over Snapchat Post, PBKS Break Silence – Yardbarker

Arshdeep Singh found himself in a bit of heat after a Snapchat thing showed up before Punjab Kings’ IPL 2026 clash vs Mumbai Indians. So you know, he posted a story earlier, a picture with Mumbai Indians batter Tilak Varma, and then he used the word “andhera” , which people immediately started throwing shade at him about. After that, the talk went big online, like really fast. Many fans accused him of saying something racist, and the whole thing became a full-on discussion point across social media. And then, as the criticism kept building, Punjab Kings finally stepped in with a public response, just to cool it down. Punjab Kings’ head of sports science, Andrew Leipus, brought it up during a press conference. He basically said that inside the dressing room, Arshdeep’s mindset is still normal, like nothing “real” has changed even with all the noise outside. Andrew Leipus said: “I don’t follow a lot of social media myself, so I know there’s been a bit of chatter behind the scenes of various things going on, vlogging and whatnot. I’m not across that. In terms of his behaviour, Arsh is pretty much a flat line. He’s not up or down.”
