[WATCH] “Pataake kahan hai?” – Arshdeep and Kuldeep’s fun diwali reel goes viral during Aussie tour
Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav’s hilarious “Pataake Kahan Hai” Diwali reel goes viral as Team India tours Australia. The duo’s fun video captures festive cheer and homesickness while away from home.
Two of India’s most entertaining cricketers, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav, have once again set social media buzzing, this time with their hilarious Diwali-themed reel titled “Pataake Kahan Hai” (meaning “Where are the firecrackers?”). The 36-second video, filmed at what appears to be the Adelaide Oval, shows the duo in Indian team jackets, dramatically searching for fireworks while laughing and making playful expressions. The phrase flashes across the screen as upbeat Punjabi music plays in the background, perfectly capturing their mock disappointment at missing Diwali celebrations while on tour.
Arshdeep and Kuldeep share Diwali laughs from Australia with their viral “Pataake Kahan Hai” reel
Posted around October 21, 2025, coinciding with Diwali, the clip quickly went viral, drawing laughter and love from fans worldwide. With India currently in Australia for a white-ball series, the reel humorously highlights the contrast between festive India and the quieter Aussie setting, no firecrackers, just cricket. The two bowlers have a long history of such light-hearted content; from their dance videos after the Asia Cup 2025 win to post-match comedy clips, their chemistry off the field mirrors their effectiveness on it.

Behind the fun, the video also reflects a relatable sentiment, homesickness. Diwali, celebrated this year on October 20, is synonymous with family gatherings, sweets, and fireworks. For players touring abroad, the festival often becomes a reminder of the distance from home. Yet, Arshdeep and Kuldeep turned that feeling into laughter, reminding fans that even amid packed schedules, there’s room for joy and connection.
Both cricketers are key members of India’s current squad. Arshdeep, the left-arm seamer known for his death-overs precision, and Kuldeep, the crafty wrist-spinner fresh off a five-wicket haul against the West Indies, are part of India’s ongoing Australia tour, a crucial series ahead of next year’s major tournaments.
