Indian and Punjab Kings (PBKS) star pacer Arshdeep Singh made a surprising statement, urging local fans to support their home team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 playoffs.
Responding to a fan on Snapchat, Arshdeep expressed gratitude for non-Punjabi fans supporting PBKS while pointing out that many Punjabis back other IPL teams instead.
