IPL 2025: "Open bus parade with the trophy.." Punjab Kings' Arshdeep Singh reveals his goal

Arshdeep Singh, who is playing under skipper Shreyas Iyer’s guidance in IPL 2025, also said he enjoys bowling under pressure.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) pacer Arshdeep Singh has revealed how his team would celebrate if they win Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 trophy. The left-arm pacer said they would plan for an open bus parade in Chandigarh if they go on to win their maiden IPL title this year.

Notably, PBKS have never reached the playoffs after the 2014 season, where they ended as runners-up. If we take a glance at IPL history, PBKS are the most unsuccessful team. They have consistently failed to grab a place in the playoffs for the last few years.

This time, Shreyas Iyer has the reins of the side. Notably, the right-handed batter led Kolkata Knight Riders to the trophy last season and has been in commendable form during last year across all formats.

Our goal is to celebrate victory with fans in Chandigarh with an open-bus parade: Arshdeep Singh

Recently, Arshdeep Singh appeared on JioHotstar’s special show ‘Gen Bold,’ where he revealed the goals of his team for IPL 2025. He opened up about the positive atmosphere inside the dressing room and squad. He also detailed how IPL 2014 runners-up will celebrate it they win IPL 2025.

“The energy is fantastic, and the atmosphere in the dressing room is incredible. This time, we will give Punjab fans a reason to celebrate. I don’t want to jinx it, but I’m really excited. Fans will be thrilled when they see the brand of cricket we’re going to play this year,” the left-armer said.

“We appreciate all the fans who have supported us for 17 years, and we will do our best to give them a season to remember. Our goal is to play just 16 matches, win the title, and celebrate with them in Chandigarh with an open-bus parade,” said Arshdeep, who has been part of PBKS for the last few seasons in the IPL.

I like to bowl under pressure: Arshdeep

Arshdeep Singh, who is playing under Shreyas Iyer’s guidance this season, also said he enjoys bowling under pressure. Notably, the left-armer has bowled brilliant death overs for PBKS as well as the India National Cricket Team in many games during the last few years. He has also snatched victories in the final overs in narrow clashes.

“I enjoy stepping up when the team is under pressure—whether it’s stopping runs or taking wickets. When they hand me the ball in crucial moments, it feels good to know that they trust me. I genuinely enjoy the added responsibility, regardless of the situation,” he concluded.

He picked the crucial wicket of GT opener Sai Sudharsan, who slammed 74 runs. Later, he got Sherfane Rutherford. Notably, the Punjab pacer also dismissed Rahul Tewatia with a run-out. PBKS won the match by 11 runs in the end after posting 243/5 in 1st innings. Later, GT replied 232/5 in 20 overs, but could not taste victory.
