Arshdeep Singh has been under scanner of PBKS & BCCI over his reels in IPL 2026.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently issued an advisory for all IPL 2026 teams related to protocol breaches, team discipline, and security issues. The Governing body has also urged all IPL teams to communicate the dos and don’ts of the advisory with their players.
Punjab Kings pacer Arshdeep Singh’s vlog and reels have come into the scanner after the BCCI’s advisory. The left-arm pacer is an active vlogger with over six million followers on Instagram. He is known for regularly posting reels that are quite popular on social media.
His vlogs caught the attention of the managers and officials of the BCCI when a video of his teammate, Yuzvendra Chahal, vaping on a flight became a big controversy. In their advisory, BCCI also ordered strict rules against the use of e-cigarettes and vapes.
