Arshdeep Singh, the fast bowler for Punjab Kings, is facing significant backlash on social media following a controversial exchange with a fan on Snapchat. The incident occurred after the fan criticized Singh for allegedly embarrassing the team and urged him to stop using Punjab Kings' name in the Indian Premier League (IPL). In his response, Singh made a disparaging comment about the fan's financial situation, which has drawn widespread criticism. This controversy comes on the heels of another incident where Singh referred to fellow cricketer Tilak Varma as 'Andhere' (Dark one) in a video, prompting former India spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan to call for his ban from the league. Sivaramakrishnan suggested that players should face consequences for their actions, advocating for Singh to be paid on a 'pro-rata basis' if banned. Additionally, Singh's social media activity has been scrutinized after the BCCI reportedly requested him to cease vlogging during the IPL season. Meanwhile, in a recent match, the Mumbai Indians successfully chased down a target of 201 runs against Punjab Kings, with Varma contributing an impressive 75 runs.
