“SKY is in good shape. Also, our starters Let us not be fickle and changeable. Even if they lose a close game, we should stick by them. And, for the love of God, stop trolling Arshdeep. He’s a fantastic prospect. The rest of the tournament should be exciting. ‘Praying for the next match,’ he wrote.

Swara Bhasker, Gul Panag, and Pooja Bhatt, as well as dialogue writer-lyricist Varun Grover, had previously come out in support of Arshdeep after the match. Swara Bhasker commented on Twitter, “@arshdeepsinghh, we love you and are proud of you! Keep your cool! (Emojis of a yellow heart and a national flag)” Gul Panag also posted on Twitter, “The way @arshdeepsinghh has been trolled is truly tragic. And it appears to be the work of another IT department. Don’t be taken in by it. P.S. The unfortunate aspect of devious propaganda is that anyone can do it. It also works like a dog whistle, with the intended recipients completely unaware.”
