Viral video of Yuzvendra Chahal smoking, littering sparks outrage
New Delhi: A video allegedly featuring Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal has gone viral on social media platforms like X and Instagram, sparking widespread reactions among fans. The clip shows a man resembling Chahal sitting in a luxury car, smoking a cigarette and discarding it on the road, though its authenticity and the individual’s identity remain unconfirmed.
Despite the growing buzz, there is no official confirmation that the person in the video is actually Chahal. Key details such as where and when the video was shot are still unknown. So far, neither the cricketer nor his team has released any statement regarding the clip.
The video has led to criticism from fans and social media users, many of whom questioned the behaviour shown in the clip. Some users expressed disappointment, saying public figures should act responsibly. Others made harsh comments, even linking the incident to his absence from the Indian team. At the same time, a section of users urged caution, pointing out that the video has not been verified and jumping to conclusions may be unfair.

As a well-known sportsperson, Chahal is often seen as a role model, especially for young fans. This is why the alleged actions in the video have sparked a wider discussion about how public figures should behave, both on and off the field.
The controversy comes during the ongoing Indian Premier League 2026 season, where Chahal is playing for Punjab Kings. He has had a decent start, picking up three wickets in his first three matches. Recently, Chahal also spoke about focusing on his fitness and mentioned that he has avoided alcohol for over six months, making the viral clip even more surprising for some fans.
For now, the truth behind the viral video remains uncertain. Until there is clear evidence or an official response, the incident continues to be a topic of speculation, showing how quickly unverified content can spread and impact public figures.
