The Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh has found himself in the spotlight for a variety of reasons since he began vlogging. His actions have sparked several controversies, including instances where he was accused of making racially charged remarks towards Tilak Varma and mocking the insecurities of his own PBKS teammates. However, a new controversy has recently emerged, capturing the attention of fans and followers alike.
It was discovered last night that approximately 200 posts had disappeared from Arshdeep’s Instagram account. Fans were taken aback to find only 45 posts remaining, with the most recent one being a promotional video. Notably, a viral video featuring Virat Kohli during the 2025 Champions Trophy was also missing. This raised questions about whether Arshdeep had deleted or archived these posts.
Despite the growing speculation, neither Arshdeep nor the Punjab Kings have provided any official statement regarding this issue. Some fans have pointed out that he removed “Punjab Kings” from his bio, although he later reinstated it. This has led many to wonder if Arshdeep is considering leaving the franchise.
Arshdeep has been a consistent presence for Punjab Kings since 2019. In 2018, the Kings XI Punjab team purchased him for INR 20 lakh, and he made his debut against the Rajasthan Royals in 2019. His journey with the team has been marked by both achievements and challenges.
Looking at his Instagram account, he still has a post wearing a PBKS jersey, though it appears to be a paid promotion with a watch company. Another recent post featured memories from the 2026 IPL, captioned “Sabar. Shukar. Punjab,” which received a comment from the team’s skipper, Shreyas Iyer. Additionally, Punjab Kings commented alongside Suryansh Shedge, indicating some level of engagement from the franchise.
Arshdeep Singh’s performance in the 2026 IPL season was a mixed bag for Punjab Kings. He managed to take 14 wickets in 14 matches, finishing as the franchise’s joint-highest wicket-taker. However, his economy rate of 10.20 was a cause for concern, as it placed him in an unfortunate position as the first bowler to concede over 500 runs across three consecutive seasons.
One of his standout moments came on April 16, 2026, when he took 3/22 against the Mumbai Indians, becoming the first player to reach 100 IPL wickets for Punjab Kings. Despite this achievement, he faced a challenging match against the Lucknow Super Giants, where he conceded 52 runs in three overs.
This season has highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of Arshdeep’s bowling, as he continues to navigate the pressures of professional cricket while dealing with personal and public scrutiny. The recent disappearance of posts from his social media account has only added to the intrigue surrounding his career and future with the Punjab Kings.
