The video quickly spread across social media and triggered mixed reactions from fans. Some people felt it was harmless fun between teammates and normal dressing-room banter. However, others believed Priyansh looked uncomfortable during the interaction.
In the clip, Priyansh is seen avoiding the camera while continuing a phone call, and many social media users pointed to his body language while debating whether the teasing went too far.

This is not the first time Arshdeep has faced criticism online in recent days. Earlier, another viral video involving Tilak Varma sparked controversy after Arshdeep was heard saying “Oye andhere” while speaking to the Mumbai Indians batter. Some users on social media accused him of making an insensitive comment.
