Arshdeep Singh deletes more than 200+ posts from Instagram:Pacer’s viral reel with Kohli also missing, is there something wrong?

Indian seamer Arshdeep Singh triggered a frenzy on social media after he wiped more than 4/5th of his Instagram profile posts. The scale of cleaning up social media can be understood by the fact that the Punjab Kings bowler deleted more than 200 posts from his profile. Notably, one of the deleted posts also included the viral Champions Trophy 2025 reel that Arshdeep recorded with Virat Kohli. Considering the scale from the lens of Arshdeep, who shares a deep bond with his mom and social media, it is a drastic development. Apart from moving on to such a massive number of updates, the Indian seamer also changed his profile pic along with it, leaving the internet and his fans guessing about what caused this massive shift in Arshdeep’s social media game. Arshdeep Singh removes reel with Kohli, deletes more than 200+ posts The social media frenzy that was caused by Arshdeep Singh’s move took place on Monday night. Fans noticed that apart from deleting more than 200+ posts from his social media ID, he also switched his profile picture, adding a swanky image in its place. In addition to it, he also deleted the viral Champions Trophy 2025 reel with Virat Kohli that he recorded on the ground with the legend after the victory of Team India. It’s worth noting that the reel was a boost, amassing more than 150 million views on his account. Arshdeep Singh yet to provide reason for his bold move There has been no explanation yet from Arshdeep regarding the sudden social media activity, leaving fans guessing whether the move hinted at a personal reset, a rebranding exercise, or something far bigger behind the scenes. Currently, 200 Instagram posts have disappeared from Arshdeep’s profile, reducing his total uploads to just 40. However, unlike several claims circulating on social media, Arshdeep has neither deleted all posts related to Punjab Kings nor removed PBKS from his bio. The remaining posts primarily feature moments with his family, milestones from his cricketing journey, and a handful of brand endorsements.

Earlier this month, an alleged racial remark from a Punjab seamer directed at Tilak Varma before Punjab’s match against the Mumbai Indians went viral online. In the video, Arshdeep was heard saying, “Oye Andhere, sunscreen lagaaya?” (“Hey, dark one, did you apply sunscreen?”), triggering outrage among fans and the cricket fraternity. Former India cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan had sharp criticism for Arshdeep’s remark, calling for his suspension from the IPL.He had said: “Nobody believed me. Everyone mocked and trolled me. Arshdeep should be banned this season. If BCCI takes action, I will name people who racially abused me.” Later, Arshdeep picked up another controversy after a strong-worded response to a fan on Snapchat following PBKS’s defeat to Mumbai. Soon after, he sparked fresh debate for teasing his own teammate, Priyansh Arya, in another Snapchat story that quickly went viral online. Eventually, Arshdeep could not get the limelight for the right reasons despite all the buzz around him. The speedster incurred a poor IPL 2026 season, where he picked up only 14 wickets in 14 games at an economy rate of 10.21.
