Arshdeep Singh’s social media game is often as much talked about as his performances on the field. The left-arm pacer has a high fan following on social media platforms due to his fun sense of humour and his videos on Instagram, YouTube, and even Snapchat. Recently, he posted a still on Instagram from the T20 World Cup 2026 final featuring him and on-field umpire Richard Illingworth. The reel went viral on different social media platforms for its hilariousness.
Arshdeep Singh fires the ball back at Daryl Mitchell
While Arshdeep Singh remained wicketless in the T20 World Cup 2026 final against New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium, he did make it into the highlights. Bowling the 11th over of the second innings, the Indian pacer fired back a ball hit back towards him by Kiwi batter Daryl Mitchell. The ball went on to hit the right-handed batter on the thigh, and he was livid in his reaction.
Arshdeep was quick to offer a handshake and an apology once the over ended. He once again apologised to Mitchell following the completion of the clash. The Indian pacer was fined 15% of his match fee for a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct.

After the fine was announced, Arshdeep posted a reel of a still featuring him and Richard Illingworth. The left-arm pacer captioned the post “Ki gal hogi” (What is the matter?). Right after he threw the ball back at Mitchell, the 27-year-old was involved in a conversation with the on-field umpire.
Arshdeep Singh’s role in the Indian team
Arshdeep Singh was an integral part of the Indian team that created history by winning the T20 World Cup in 2026. It was a record third title for the Men in Blue as they became the first team to defend their title and win at home.
During the T20 World Cup 2026, the left-arm pacer picked up nine wickets in eight games while going at an economy of 8.46. He is undoubtedly one of the most successful players in the shortest format.

He is followed by Jasprit Bumrah on the list for most wickets in T20Is for India with 121 scalps to his name.
