Why did Arshdeep Singh delete Instagram posts? PBKS pacer removes 200-plus posts
Punjab Kings and Indian cricket team fast bowler Arshdeep Singh faced immense criticism throughout the IPL 2026 campaign for his hyperactive social media activities, which often invited controversy.
From posting a controversial video, where he can be heard casually racially attacking Tilak Varma, to sharing a video of team-mate Yuzvendra Chahal allegedly vaping, Singh’s social media posts have constantly brought negative attention to PBKS and the player.
After PBKS exited the IPL 2026 season from the league stage, Singh’s Instagram page underwent major changes, which include the deletion of more than 200 posts.
Singh, who has 6.2 million followers on his Instagram page, now only has 44 posts and the previous posts of Varma and Chahal have all been removed.
The exact reason for the deletion of the posts remains unknown, however, fans believe that the pacer did it to reduce the negativity around him and the PBKS franchise.
