RR vs PBKS: Bhangra star Arshdeep Singh turns into a Bihu dancer on arriving in Guwahati
RR vs PBKS: Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh has risen up the ranks in the last few seasons. He has been the mainstay of the Indian bowling lineup in T20Is in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and for his IPL franchise PBKS as well. His ability to swing the new ball and bowl deadly yorkers at the death makes him different from other bowlers.
While his on-field heroics are exceptional, Arshdeep Singh has been a great entertainer off the field. The pacer is always seen making everyone around him laugh with his hilarious jokes and often has been spotted traditional Punjabi dance Bhangra. Not only off the field, but the southpaw even shakes his leg during the game whenever he seizes an opportunity.
