IPL controversy involving bowler Chahal

Team India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has found himself in a controversy that could potentially trouble the Punjab Kings franchise. A video showing Chahal allegedly using an e-cigarette (vape) inside the team’s flight has gone viral on social media. The incident reportedly took place during their travel from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad for an SRH match.

The use of e-cigarettes during air travel is strictly prohibited as it violates aviation safety regulations. Netizens have also claimed that other players were present in the video and that parts of the footage appear to have been edited. With the BCCI having previously taken disciplinary action in similar cases, it remains to be seen what decision will be made if the allegations are confirmed.
