“Now even my sister has started coaching me”

Punjab Kings (PBKS) star pacer Arshdeep Singh recently opened up on how his family bonds with him over cricket. He is a vital member of the Punjab team, who are doing well in the ongoing IPL 2025 season.

Arshdeep appeared on the show ‘Kandid with Kings’, hosted by Sahiba Bali, which was put up on the Punjab Kings’ YouTube page. During the conversation, the PBKS bowler revealed funny incidents about how his family bonds and schools him over cricket.

He said that his mother didn’t use to watch a lot of cricket but now gave him tips whenever he gets hit for a six. The pacer also spoke about how his father and sister, revealing:

“My mom used to not watch cricket a lot but now when someone hits me for a six my mom tells me why did you not put a wide yorker. My dad used to play before. Now also he plays corporate matches on Saturdays and Sundays so the competition is there with him. There is a lot of coaching at home.

“Now even my sister has started coaching me. I put a video where I was dancing. I was dancing on the boundary as some song was playing. I was engaging he crowd. My sister scolded me for that. She told me you are dancing and then getting hit for sixes, you need to get serious.” (8:39)
