Arshdeep Singh It was a memorable night on Sunday, April 19, as they helped Punjab Kings (PBKS) register a massive 54-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in Match 29 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh. After the win, Arshdeep shared a happy moment with team co-owner Preity Zinta and both welcomed him happily.
Notably, Arshdeep played a key role in Punjab's comprehensive win against the Lucknow-based franchise. In a high-scoring affair, Arshdeep conceded 41 runs in his spell but took the wicket of opposition captain Rishabh Pant (43 off 23). Pant was hitting the ball hard, but the left arm fast bowler trapped him and got the wicketkeeper-batsman caught behind the wicket.
