Arshdeep Singh, the Indian pacer and Punjab Kings bowler, has gone and deleted a big chunk of posts from his Instagram account. This shift really got people talking, mainly because he was earlier  very active, like almost always in the feed. As per reports, roughly 200 Instagram posts seem to have been removed from his profile, and now only a small set of content is actually still showing.

Major cleanup on Arshdeep Singh’s Instagram

Basically it looks like Arshdeep has  trimmed down his online presence a lot. Earlier his Instagram had reels, vlogs and even those personal moments with teammates. But now, most of that stuff, is no longer visible.

At this point only around 44 posts remain on the profile. A big chunk of these remaining posts on Instagram look like brand promotions and sponsored material, so not the usual day to day vibe fans were used to.

Viral Virat Kohli reel also removed

One of the most noticeable changes is that a popular reel with Virat Kohli has been taken down too. That video had been posted back in December, and it had crossed 15 million views.

Fans soon realized that reel is no longer available on Arshdeep’s page. And that’s where the chatter grew even more, because it connects with the bigger pattern of Instagram posts disappearing from his account.

Back-to-back social media controversies

Lately, Arshdeep Singh’s social media activity has been under constant observation.

For example, he once recorded a vlog on a flight, and Yuzvendra Chahal showed up in the background. In the clip, Chahal seemed to be vaping, and after that people started criticizing him online.

In another instance, a pre-match video before a game against Mumbai Indians caused backlash. In that video, Arshdeep mentioned Tilak Varma using the word “Andhera,” and many users felt it was inappropriate. The clip then got circulated heavily and discussed on social media.

Guidelines from BCCI and franchise response

After the backlash, some reports claim the BCCI told Arshdeep Singh to stop vlogging on social media for the remaining part of the IPL season. Like, not just “less”, but kinda fully avoid it , for now.

Then, in later updates it was also said that Punjab Kings brought in even tighter social media guidelines for their players. In these reports, the idea was that any content featuring team members should be managed only through official franchise accounts. Meaning, no personal reposting, no casual uploads with teammates involved, at least not the way it used to be.

All of this kind of lines up with the big deletion wave, where 200 instagram posts were reportedly deleted from his profile.

Speculation around the reason for deletion

There is no official statement that confirms why Arshdeep Singh removed so many posts. Still, online discussion has been doing the rounds, and people are pointing toward recent controversies, plus these newer guidelines, as possible influences.

Fans also connect the timing of the cleanup with the growing scrutiny on his social media activity. Like, “right after” the talk started, the account changed.

IPL season background

Punjab Kings began the 2026 IPL season with strong displays. But later, the team lost their momentum , and things didn’t quite stick. They ended up not qualifying for the playoffs.

So in general, this whole run has kept the franchise and its players, Arshdeep Singh included, under the public microscope, even after the season shifted.
