"I have a lot of fun. There have been many ups and downs in my life in my short career. In this much time I have seen highest and lowest point so I find it funny that how creative people are there and how creative memes are made. I used to think I will use them in future somewhere but I realized there is no sense of these things and now I enjoy the creativity. I enjoy watching memes on me," he explained.
Arshdeep Singh added that he got schooled by his family and friends as well.
"In the previous game when I got hit for two sixes before comments from people I heard things from family, friends so there is no need of people's comments for me now," he added.
