Punjab Kings\u2019 speedster Arshdeep Singh is again facing backlash online during IPL 2026 after a Snapchat clip featuring him with Priyansh Arya went viral. In the footage, which was reportedly shared from within the team setup, Arshdeep and teammate Harpreet Brar are seen teasing PBKS opener Priyansh about his smile while Priyansh appears to be checking his phone, prompting claims from some viewers that the exchange came across as mocking and made the batter uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

Viral bus clip sparks criticism<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The video, said to have been uploaded on Snapchat, shows Arshdeep and Harpreet Brar riding the same bus with Priyansh Arya.<\/li>\n
  2. Priors to the teasing moment, Priyansh is visible looking towards his phone.<\/li>\n
  3. Arshdeep, seated opposite Priyansh, appears to comment on his smile, while Brar joins in with laughter.<\/li>\n
  4. In the clip, Arshdeep is heard saying, \u201cWhat a cutie, man! Smile for us, show us your teeth,\u201d as Brar laughs along.<\/li>\n
  5. Several social media users reacted negatively to Arshdeep\u2019s tone, with many asserting that Priyansh looked uneasy during the exchange.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The backlash quickly gathered pace with comments ranging from accusations of bullying to broader criticism of Arshdeep\u2019s on-camera behaviour. One user wrote that Arshdeep \u201cthinks all this is funny when it\u2019s clearly making others uncomfortable,\u201d while another questioned why there was \u201cso much hate\u201d for the left-arm pacer, adding that he is still young and learning while carrying heavy expectations each match. A third reaction branded the behaviour as \u201carrogance\u201d that was \u201cannoying,\u201d as the debate continued across platforms on May 22, 2026.<\/p>\n

    Not the first IPL 2026 social-media controversy<\/h2>\n

    This latest episode follows earlier online controversies involving Arshdeep during IPL 2026. Previously, he had referred to Mumbai Indians\u2019 Tilak Varma as \u201candhere\u201d (darkness), a remark that drew criticism on social media due to perceived racial undertones.<\/p>\n

    Arshdeep also faced heat after an intense Snapchat interaction with a fan. In that instance, the fan urged him to stop using Punjab Kings\u2019 name in the IPL, claiming it was causing embarrassment. Arshdeep responded sharply, saying: \u201cWhat have you done for Punjab, Singh saab? People who still ask their family for chips and cold drink money are now advising me on Punjab?\u201d<\/p>\n

    Form slump adds to scrutiny for Arshdeep<\/h2>\n

    Beyond off-field chatter, Arshdeep\u2019s on-field numbers have not been at their best. After winning the T20 World Cup 2026, the left-arm pacer has experienced a downturn in IPL 2026, taking 14 wickets in 13 matches. His wicket-taking has come with an average of 35 and an economy rate close to 10.<\/p>\n

    His struggle has coincided with a sharp slide for Punjab Kings. The franchise started strongly, winning six of their first seven matches, but then suffered a run of six consecutive defeats. With playoff qualification now hanging by a thread, the pressure has intensified on the team\u2014and on Arshdeep\u2014as the season heads deeper into its decisive phase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
