Dressing Room Drama: Tilak Varma's Patience Wears, Scolds Arshdeep Singh Over Impromptu Filming | Watch

World Cup 2026 India vs South Africa: India's star batter Tilak Varma was visibly perturbed with pacer Arshdeep Singh after the fast bowler was caught filming him without permission in the dressing room after the Men in Blue's victory over South Africa in the T20 World Cup warm-up match.

In a viral video, Tilak was seen eating his food and firmly telling Arshdeep to stop recording. The spat appears to be a playful jest between Tilak, Arshdeep and Ishan Kishan, with the trio's camaraderie on full display.
