Arshdeep Singh: IPL 2026 has been like a nightmare for Punjab Kings star fast bowler Arshdeep Singh. Arshdeep, who is active on social media outside the field, has not been able to show any special magic with the ball this time. His disappointing performance continued even in his last league match, where the opposing batsmen thrashed his balls. In the last match against Lucknow Super Giants, he proved to be the most expensive bowler of his team.
Arshdeep Singh wasted a lot of runs
Arshdeep Singh was a complete flop against Lucknow Super Giants. In this match, Arshdeep gave away 52 runs while bowling only 3 overs and did not get a single wicket. This is not just about one match, he proved to be expensive throughout the season. The figures of IPL 2026 are quite worrying for this left-arm fast bowler. This is the first time after his debut season that Arshdeep has proved to be so ineffective and expensive.
This season, while playing 14 matches, he has spent runs at an economy of 10.12 and taken only 14 wickets. Arshdeep Singh has spent runs with such a poor economy for the first time since his debut season. Arshdeep, usually known for his accurate yorkers in the death overs, was seen struggling to stop the runs this time, which also proved to be a major weakness for the Punjab team.
Many videos were in controversies
This season, Arshdeep Singh remained in the news more for his social media videos and reels than for the game. Many of his videos went viral on the internet, in which he was seen pulling and making fun of his fellow players. Recently, there was a lot of controversy and uproar on social media over one of his videos with Tilak Verma. In such a situation, fans on social media say that Arshdeep’s attention got distracted more on off-field activities than sports, which has a direct impact on his performance.
