Arshdeep’s big reel plan fails
After the final, Arshdeep was asked how many Instagram Reels he was planning to upload from the big night. The left-arm pacer confidently said he wanted to post around ten reels to show fans the behind-the-scenes celebration of the historic victory.
But the Indian team’s celebrations continued late into the night, and players were busy enjoying the special moment together. Because of which Arshdeep could post only 7 reels.
