Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh has set his sights on IPL 2025 glory, stating that the team’s ultimate goal is to lift the trophy and celebrate with an open-bus parade in Chandigarh. PBKS have started the season strongly after assembling a formidable squad, and with their last playoff appearance dating back to 2014, the franchise is eager to turn the tide.
Speaking on JioHotstar’s special show ‘Gen Bold,’ Arshdeep Singh reflected on his journey since IPL 2024. Despite his growing stature in Indian cricket, the left-arm pacer insists his life hasn’t changed much. Instead, he remains focused on building mental resilience, ensuring he stays grounded amid the highs and lows of professional cricket.
“Life hasn’t changed much; it’s still the same, but it’s fun. As they say, change is the only constant. Staying stable and managing the highs and lows is crucial at this level. I focus on strengthening my mental resilience and enjoying the present moment. I’m very excited about this season,” he shared.

“The energy is fantastic, and the dressing room atmosphere 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 with the brand of cricket we’re going to play. We appreciate all the fans who have supported us for 17 years, and we’ll 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,” he said.
