Arshdeep Singh opens up on IPL 2026 Instagram fallout after England‑India ODI series

During a laid‑back chat on Krishnan Atrey’s YouTube channel, 27‑year‑old Arshdeep Singh was asked about the sudden purge of his Instagram posts that followed Punjab Kings’ exit from IPL 2026. The fast‑bowler shrugged it off, saying the tournament had wrapped up and he just wanted to “clean things up”.

"People make an issue out of it, asking why I deleted the videos or why my account changed overnight. It’s nothing dramatic, bro. I just felt like removing them. If I want to put them back, I will. It’s all about my mood," he said, a hint of casual indifference in his tone.

Punjab Kings narrowly missed the playoffs, finishing fifth, while Arshdeep’s own IPL campaign was a mixed bag – 14 wickets in as many games but an economy rate that crept above ten runs per over. Not exactly the headline‑grabbing performance he’d hoped for.

The conversation then drifted to lighter territory. When asked which teammates he shares memes with, Arshdeep lit up. He mentioned a close‑knit group consisting of fellow youngsters Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan and Jitesh Sharma. "The four of us have been tight since we first got the India call‑up. Whenever something funny pops up – a cringey interview line or a viral moment – we ping each other the memes," he explained, chuckling.

Arshdeep has now featured in 109 matches across ODIs and T20Is, claiming 165 wickets, including two five‑wicket hauls. His recent ODI outing in England ended in a 2‑1 series loss for India, with the bowler going wicketless in the decisive Lord’s match.

All in all, the bowler’s Instagram clean‑up appears to be a personal choice rather than a calculated PR move. As he put it, “Whenever I feel like it, I post something.”
