IPL 2025: Arshdeep Singh Steps Into Leadership Role with Punjab Kings
Arshdeep Singh, the spearhead of Punjab Kings’ bowling attack, has emerged as a pivotal figure not just with the ball but also as a leader within the team. The left-arm pacer, who has been instrumental in the ongoing IPL season with eight wickets in six games at an average of 25.14, recently opened up about how embracing responsibility has shaped his cricketing journey and personal growth.
Early Responsibility: A Catalyst for Growth
In a candid conversation on the Kandid with Kings series hosted by Sahiba Bali, Arshdeep reflected on his evolution since joining the Punjab Kings seven years ago. The 24-year-old revealed that he felt the weight of leadership early in his IPL career, a factor that has played a significant role in his development.
“Except for my debut season, I started sensing a sense of seniority quite early on,” Arshdeep shared. “After that first year, the team began entrusting me with key responsibilities, and that trust pushed me to grow not just as a player but as a person too.”
Pressure and Perspective: Rising to the Occasion
Arshdeep’s rapid rise within the team has been marked by his ability to handle high-pressure situations with maturity. “That growth came earlier than expected,” he admitted. “It made me realise that I couldn’t afford to falter in crunch moments. When things don’t go to plan, it can really affect the team. So, I became more focused and started thinking like a senior much sooner than I imagined.”
His ability to adapt and thrive under pressure has made him a linchpin for the Punjab Kings, especially in a season where the team is looking to make a strong playoff push.
Upcoming Challenge: Punjab Kings vs RCB
Arshdeep will soon be back in action as Punjab Kings face Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18. Known for his ability to swing the ball and deliver in crucial overs, the young pacer will be key to Punjab’s chances in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
As the IPL 2025 season progresses, Arshdeep Singh continues to prove that he’s not just a bowler but a leader in the making, ready to shoulder the expectations of his team and fans alike.
