During IPL 2026, a video featuring Punjab Kings (PBKS) bowler Arshdeep Singh and Tilak Varma goes viral, drawing criticism from some social media users over an “andhere” remark. The incident triggers a racism-related controversy online, with the comment being interpreted by critics in a discriminatory way.
According to an account shared by a PBKS teammate, Arshdeep’s words are contextualised differently than some viewers suggested. The teammate’s explanation aims to clarify what was being said and why, while the broader online reaction continues to debate the meaning and intent behind the remark.
The reports agree that the controversy centres on the viral exchange captured in the video involving Arshdeep and Tilak, and that the fallout is driven largely by social media interpretation. The available coverage focuses on the emergence of the video, the subsequent criticism, and the new clarification offered from within the PBKS camp, rather than on any on-field disciplinary action.
