Why did Arshdeep Singh delete Instagram posts? PBKS pacer removes 200-plus posts on social media
Arshdeep Singh, a fast bowler for Punjab Kings, deleted over 200 posts from his Instagram account following criticism during the IPL 2026 season. His social media activity had drawn negative attention, particularly after he faced backlash for alleged racial remarks aimed at fellow player Tilak Varma. The deletion of posts appears to be an effort to mitigate the negativity surrounding him and the team after their exit from the tournament.
