Indian Premier League: Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh has found himself at the centre of controversy once again after a video featuring Mumbai Indians batter Tilak Varma went viral on social media on Thursday, multiple reports have claimed.
The video, reportedly shared on Snapchat by Arshdeep as banter between players, showed the left-arm fast bowler joking with Tilak Varma during an informal interaction. During the exchange, Arshdeep appeared to call Tilak “andhere”, a Hindi word commonly associated with darkness. He later joked that the batter should apply sunscreen.
The clip also featured Mumbai Indians player Naman Dhir, whom Arshdeep referred to as the real “noor” from Punjab, with “noor” meaning light. As Naman explained the word to Tilak, the batter replied that he already uses sunscreen.
