India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has got engaged to actor and model Samreen Kaur in New Zealand, announcing the news with photographs of the seaside proposal on social media on Wednesday, 11 November.
The proposal took place in New Zealand, where Arshdeep is touring with India’s one-day squad. Samreen posted photographs of Arshdeep on one knee, holding out a diamond ring, with the sea behind them.
“And of all the things life could have given us, I’m the happiest it gave us each other. To a lifetime together. 11.11.2026 (hi fiancé),” Samreen wrote in the caption. The photographs passed 1.1 million likes within three hours of being posted.
The announcement came hours after Arshdeep’s trade from Punjab Kings to Mumbai Indians was confirmed on the same day, making it a day of two life-changing announcements for the 27-year-old fast bowler.
Samreen Kaur is from Jammu and Kashmir and was a finalist at Femina Miss India 2018. She works as an actor, model and social media personality, and has appeared in music videos and fashion campaigns.
The couple went public with their relationship on 26 July 2026, and their engagement has been greeted with congratulations from across Indian cricket and the film industry, with teammates, former players and actors among those sending their wishes.
No wedding date has been announced yet, and the couple have not said when they plan to marry. Arshdeep is in the middle of a busy international schedule, with India’s tour of New Zealand followed by the home season.
Arshdeep is India’s leading wicket-taker in Twenty20 internationals, and has become a fixture of the white-ball teams since his debut in 2022. His left-arm pace, and his record of bowling at the death, have made him one of the most valuable bowlers in the Indian side.
For Samreen, the engagement brings her into the spotlight of Indian cricket, a world in which the partners of leading players are followed almost as closely as the players themselves.
The couple have asked for privacy around the private ceremony, and have not spoken publicly beyond the photographs and the caption. Their friends and families are expected to celebrate with them when the team returns to India.
