Punjab Kings (PBKS) pacer Arshdeep Singh has made a heartfelt appeal to Punjabi fans, urging them to rally behind their home team as they gear up for the IPL 2025 playoffs. Despite a record-breaking season where Punjab Kings finished at the top of the points table with 9 wins from 14 matches, Arshdeep expressed disappointment over the lack of support from Punjabi fans.
In a reply to a fan on Snapchat, Arshdeep remarked,
“Thank you for supporting us. You’re not Punjabi, but you’re still supporting Punjab, whereas there are a lot of people who don’t support Punjab and have different favourite teams. I would like to urge them to support Punjab, their state, their team, and come in big numbers to see us win.”
PBKS Reaches Playoffs for First Time Since 2014
The 2025 IPL season has been a historic one for Punjab Kings. After more than a decade, the team has finally made it to the playoffs — and topped the table in the process. Under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, PBKS has displayed consistency, resilience, and unity, turning the tide after several underwhelming seasons.
Arshdeep Shines With the Ball
