NEW DELHI: India and Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh, who is enjoying a stellar season in the IPL 2025, recently made headlines not only for his exploits on the field, but for a touching personal gesture.
The left-arm pacer, currently third in the Purple Cap race with 16 wickets in 11 matches, surprised his mother with a special gift - a luxury car - that left fans and followers emotional.
Sharing the moment on social media, Arshdeep posted a video capturing the behind-the-scenes journey of the surprise. “Ever had one of those days where you're juggling cricket practice, a car shoot, and planning a surprise for your mom — all at once? Well, welcome to my world!” he captioned the video, offering a glimpse into the balance between his professional commitments and personal life.
The video documented not only the moment of the surprise but also Arshdeep’s reflections on family, gratitude, and love. “Join me on this emotional rollercoaster filled with fun, gratitude, and a whole lot of love. And remember, behind every athlete is a family that cheers the loudest,” he added.
This heartfelt gesture comes during a season where Arshdeep is leading Punjab Kings’ bowling attack with remarkable consistency. PBKS currently sit second on the table and are strong contenders for a top-two finish.
