April 17, 2025: Punjab Kings’ dynamic fast bowler, Arshdeep Singh, recently shared insights into his journey with the franchise and his perspective on social media trolling during the latest episode of the “Kandid with Kings” series, hosted by Sahiba Bali.
Speaking candidly about his evolving role within the team, Arshdeep highlighted the significant responsibility he felt early in his career with the Punjab Kings.
“Ever since I came to Punjab Kings, barring the first year, I started feeling seniority in my role. I have been associated with this team for the last seven years and after spending my first year with the team, I started feeling that I have been given huge responsibility in the team. This also helped me grow as a player and person,” Arshdeep stated.
He further elaborated on how this early growth shaped his approach to the game, particularly in high-pressure situations, “The elevation in my role and growth came pretty early and hence, I knew that I could not mess up at crucial stages because at those times, not working as per the plan can put the team in serious trouble. Hence, I became serious and started feeling like a senior way too early.”
Beyond his on-field experiences, Arshdeep also shared his light-hearted view on social media interactions, including the trolling he has to face after having a tough match day.
“I have had ups and downs in my career. I have seen the highest point as well as the lowest point in a very short span. But I feel very entertained by these trolls. I laugh at their creativity and memes. Earlier, I used to save these memes and messages so I could use those later but now I feel they don’t make any sense. However, I still enjoy looking at people’s creativity,” the pacer revealed.
