A wave of outrage has erupted on social media after a fake video allegedly showing Yuzvendra Chahal with two women during an IPL match began circulating online. The clip, widely shared by an X (formerly Twitter) user, appeared to show one woman sitting on Chahal’s lap while another sat beside him, prompting confusion and backlash among fans.
However, it was soon clarified that the video is AI-generated and manipulated, with no basis in reality. Chahal is currently part of the Punjab Kings squad and has been actively involved in the ongoing IPL 2026 season, making the claims in the video misleading and false.
