After winning the gold, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh was busy doing his own thing. Having made many reels after several big wins for India, the Indian pacer made a special reel that quickly went viral and became a talking point on social media.

The reel soon became a talking point among fans, especially amid the recent controversy surrounding Arshdeep’s deleted Instagram posts and reels. His latest video has now added another memorable moment to India’s gold medal celebrations.

Deleted posts controversy: What happened and why fans are talking

Arshdeep Singh’s decision to delete more than 200 Instagram posts created a big buzz among fans. The Indian pacer also changed his display picture, while his popular Champions Trophy 2025 reel with Virat Kohli, which had crossed 150 million views, was also removed.

Arshdeep did not publicly explain why he had deleted the posts. This led to different reactions from fans, with some wondering if it had been a personal social media reset, a cleanup, or part of a rebranding plan. However, he still had Punjab Kings mentioned in his Instagram bio and had kept some cricket, family and brand-related posts.

The move had also come after Arshdeep faced criticism during IPL 2026 over several social media-related incidents. He later attracted more attention after a reported Snapchat exchange with a fan and another viral story involving teammate Priyansh Arya. On the field, he had taken 14 wickets in 14 matches during IPL 2026 and had an economy rate of more than 10.

Asian Games Gold for India: How the final played out

Team India added another gold medal to its Asian Games campaign after defeating Pakistan in the men’s T20 cricket final at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin, Japan, on Saturday. India won the closely fought match by 19 runs and successfully defended its Asian Games cricket title.

After winning the toss, captain Shreyas Iyer chose to bat first. The Indian batters played aggressively and posted 211/6 in 20 overs. Abhishek Sharma led the charge with a brilliant 61 off just 28 balls, hitting seven sixes and three fours.

Chasing 212, Pakistan struggled to maintain the required run rate despite a strong effort from Hasan Nawaz. His attacking batting gave Pakistan hope of a comeback, but India’s bowlers kept control of the game. Pakistan eventually finished on 192/6, as India sealed a 19-run victory and another Asian Games gold medal.
