Yuzvendra Chahal has once again found himself at the centre of social media controversy during IPL 2026 after a viral video appeared to show the Punjab Kings spinner using a vape inside a flight. The clip quickly spread online, with many fans reacting strongly to the incident and questioning player conduct during team travel.
Viral Video Sparks Online Debate
The video reportedly came from a Punjab Kings travel vlog shared online. In the short clip, Chahal appears to be holding and possibly using a vape while seated inside the aircraft. Although the moment was brief, social media users quickly noticed it and began sharing the clip across different platforms.
Some users criticised the spinner for allegedly vaping during a flight, while others argued that the clip may have been misunderstood or taken out of context. Reports also claimed that the original vlog was later edited after the controversy gained attention online.
Punjab Kings Yet To Respond
Neither Yuzvendra Chahal nor Punjab Kings have released an official statement regarding the viral video so far. The incident comes during an intense IPL 2026 season where Chahal has remained one of the experienced players in the Punjab Kings squad.
This is also not the first off-field controversy linked with Chahal this season. Earlier in IPL 2026, another viral clip allegedly showed a person resembling him smoking while driving, although that video was never officially verified. With the latest video now circulating widely, fans continue debating the issue across social media platforms.
