Mumbai Indians Hit Back At Arshdeep’s ‘Andhera’ Jibe On Tilak Varma? Viral Video After PBKS Defeat Sparks Buzz

Mumbai Indians sparked fresh buzz on social media after their latest post on X, with many fans linking it to Arshdeep Singh’s recent “andhera” comment aimed at Tilak Varma. The post came after Mumbai’s win over Punjab Kings and quickly grabbed attention online.

The controversy started when a Snapchat video featuring Arshdeep and Tilak began circulating on social media on Thursday, May 14. In the clip, Arshdeep was seen joking around with Tilak in a casual conversation. He called Tilak “andhere,” teased him about using sunscreen, and pointed towards Naman Dhir while calling him the real “noor” from Punjab. While the exchange appeared playful, several users online felt the comments had racist undertones and criticised the Punjab Kings pacer.

Despite the online debate, Tilak seemed unfazed by the situation. The Mumbai Indians batter played a brilliant innings, smashing 75 runs off just 33 balls to help his side secure victory. He also picked up the major awards after the match.
