Is Yuzvendra Chahal the latest cricketer caught up in a vaping controversy? A viral video allegedly shows the Punjab Kings spinner using an e-cigarette on a team flight, sparking a heated debate across social media.

The footage, originally posted by PBKS teammate Arshdeep Singh in a travel vlog on YouTube, appears to capture Chahal seated next to vice-captain Shashank Singh during what is believed to be a team flight from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad. In the clip, Chahal is seen concealing and lighting a smoking object, leading fans to accuse him of vaping aboard the aircraft.

Things got even more interesting when eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Arshdeep's original vlog—which was 16 minutes and 56 seconds long—was later edited down to 16 minutes and 1 second. Screenshots and short clips circulating online claim that the portions showing Chahal were cropped out of the final cut. One social media user even claimed to have the unedited version, doubling down on the accusation that Chahal brought a vaping device onto the plane.

This incident comes on the heels of another vaping-related row involving Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag, who was separately fined for vaping in the dressing room. The back-to-back controversies have put the spotlight on smoking and vaping habits among IPL players, raising questions about discipline and adherence to rules both on and off the field.

As of now, neither Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Punjab Kings, nor the IPL has issued an official response to the allegations. The claims remain unconfirmed, but the buzz is undeniable—leaving fans and cricket pundits alike wondering what's really happening behind the scenes.
