Left-arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh, who is currently plying his trade for Punjab Kings in IPL 2025, has found himself at the center of a social media controversy after a private Instagram chat allegedly involving him was leaked and went viral.
Arshdeep Singh’s private chat: Viral video sparks debate
The controversy erupted when a video clip surfaced online showing a young lady displaying her Instagram chat with Arshdeep. The video, which quickly gained traction across various platforms, shows the beautiful woman scrolling through what appears to be a friendly conversation with the cricketer. In the chat, Arshdeep was seen asking the lady how she is, to which she responds positively. The exchange appears normal, with no inappropriate language or behaviour evident in the leaked messages.
Despite the innocuous nature of the conversation, the video’s rapid spread has fuelled speculation about Arshdeep’s personal life. Some social media users have suggested that the cricketer may be in a relationship, although there is no concrete evidence to support these claims. Notably, Arshdeep has not previously been linked to any romantic relationships in the public eye.

No official response from Arshdeep Singh
As of now, Arshdeep Singh has not issued any public statement regarding the leaked chat or the viral video. The identity of the woman in the video also remains unknown, adding to the intrigue. The authenticity of the chat has not been independently verified, and there is no confirmation from Arshdeep’s side about the incident.
Meanwhile, the incident has divided social media users. While some have criticized Arshdeep, accusing him of inappropriate behaviour, many others have come to his defense. Supporters argue that chatting with someone on social media is neither unusual nor wrong, especially for a 26-year-old who is expected to interact with fans and acquaintances online. They point out that the conversation shown in the video does not contain anything objectionable or unprofessional.
Several users have also raised concerns about privacy and the ethics of sharing personal conversations publicly without consent. They emphasize that public figures, especially young athletes, are entitled to private lives and should not be judged solely on the basis of harmless social media interactions.
