Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh, who represents both Team India and Punjab Kings (PBKS), is currently participating in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. He recently featured on the ‘Kandid with Kings’ show, streamed on the Punjab Kings’ official YouTube channel, where he opened up about his cricketing journey and life off the field.
In today’s digital age, online abuse isn’t limited to public figures—but cricketers, given their visibility, are often targeted more intensely than the average person. When asked about handling online trolls during the interview, Arshdeep shared that experiencing highs and lows early in his career has taught him not to take memes or trolling too seriously.
“I have a lot of fun. There have been many ups and downs in my life in my short career. In this much time I have seen highest and lowest point so I find it funny that how creative people are there and how creative memes are made. I used to think I will use them in future somewhere but I realized there is no sense of these things and now I enjoy the creativity. I enjoy watching memes on me,” he explained.
Arshdeep Singh also mentioned that his family and friends didn’t hold back from giving him a reality check.
“In the previous game when I got hit for two sixes before comments from people I heard things from family, friends so there is no need of people’s comments for me now,” he added.

“If going to sleep at 5 AM is a bad habit then I have gotten it recently. And I have become a new YouTuber. I have heard everyone sleeps late so it has naturally come to me too.”
”I have made only one or few vlogs but I am having fun that I am able to connect to people and talk to them about relatable things like there are not much drastic changes and we (cricketers) also do almost the same things that they do. It feels good that we can give back to the society,” he said. (4:41)
