Did Yuzvendra Chahal vape on a flight? Viral video allegations rock Punjab Kings mid-season
A video posted on Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh’s official YouTube channel has landed the franchise in the middle of an uncomfortable controversy.
In the footage, Yuzvendra Chahal, seated beside vice-captain Shashank Singh during what is believed to be a team flight from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad, appears to be concealing and lighting a smoking object.
The clip was part of a travel vlog Arshdeep had uploaded, which seemingly showed the squad in transit during the ongoing IPL 2026 season.
A social media user posted screenshots and short clips from Arshdeep’s vlog, alleging that Chahal was vaping aboard the aircraft. The same user later claimed that the original video was subsequently edited and made shorter, with the portions showing Chahal allegedly removed from the final cut.
The user further alleged possession of the unedited version and doubled down on the accusation that Chahal had brought a vaping device onto the plane.

Neither Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Punjab Kings, nor the IPL has responded to or acknowledged the allegations in any official capacity. The claims are entirely unverified at this stage, and no independent confirmation of the video’s contents or context has been possible.
Riyan Parag was caught in a separate vaping incident
Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag was caught on broadcast cameras appearing to use an electronic vaping device inside the dressing room during his side’s IPL fixture against Punjab Kings.
The cameras picked up the moment in the 16th over after Parag had been dismissed and returned to the dugout. The Board of Control for Cricket in India acted swiftly, docking 25% of Parag’s match fees and handing him 1 demerit point.

The Cricket News Opinion: Not a good advertisement for IPL
The Parag incident was confirmed on camera and dealt with through proper channels.
Now, it remains to be seen if Chahal also faces the brunt from the board. Nonetheless, it is not a good advertisement for the cricket board or the IPL brand.
