BCCI has reportedly taken a firm stance against social media vlogging by players following a series of controversies during IPL 2026. Arshdeep Singh, the Punjab Kings pacer, has been directed to stop posting his popular behind-the-scenes travel vlogs for the remainder of the season, NDTV reported.
The row erupted after fans spotted a brief moment in Arshdeep’s travel vlog - captured while the team was flying from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad - where Chahal appeared to be using a vape or e-cigarette.
Although the footage was reportedly edited out shortly after being uploaded, screen recordings began circulating on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
Legal Implications
Vaping is strictly prohibited on domestic flights under DGCA guidelines. While some fans argued Chahal might have been using a simple throat spray or pulling a prank, the optics have reportedly concerned the board.
Reports indicate that to prevent further "anomalies" and protect the league's reputation, Arshdeep has been asked to refrain from any further vlogging during the tournament.
This is the second major "vaping" incident in IPL 2026, pointing toward a growing concern regarding player conduct:
As of now, neither Punjab Kings franchise nor Yuzvendra Chahal has issued a formal statement regarding the flight incident. Arshdeep, known for his lighthearted "BTS" content, has complied with the verbal directive from the board.
