IPL 2026: BCCI Reportedly Warns Arshdeep Singh to Halt Vlogging Amid Yuzvendra Chahal Vaping Controversy
BCCI reportedly told Arshdeep Singh to stop vlogging after a teammate's vaping incident.Summary
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly instructed Punjab Kings (PBKS) pacer Arshdeep Singh to cease his personal vlogging activities for the remainder of the IPL 2026 season. This directive follows the viral spread of a video clip from one of Arshdeep's travel vlogs, which appeared to show teammate Yuzvendra Chahal using an e-cigarette during a team flight to Hyderabad. The BCCI is concerned that such unfiltered content poses a risk to the league's professional image and may inadvertently leak sensitive information or document behavior that contravenes the tournament's strict discipline protocols. Sources indicate that the footage involving Chahal was viewed as a breach of the player code of conduct. This move is part of a broader effort to tighten control over player-led content, as the board is also concerned about player security and vulnerability to external approaches. Franchises have been told to ensure that any digital content featuring multiple players is vetted by official media teams. This disciplinary action follows a similar incident earlier in the 2026 campaign where Rajasthan Royals' Riyan Parag was reportedly fined for vaping in the dressing room.
