Former Indian cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has demanded that Yuzvendra Chahal face jail time for vaping, an act that is illegal in India. A video of Chahal using an e-cigarette during a flight went viral, prompting Sivaramakrishnan to emphasize the importance of enforcing laws. He criticized the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for only imposing a 25% fine on Riyan Parag for vaping in the dressing room, arguing that such penalties are insufficient. Sivaramakrishnan's comments highlight a broader concern regarding player conduct and adherence to legal standards. The BCCI has also issued directives to all Indian Premier League (IPL) teams, reiterating that vaping is prohibited in stadiums and team hotels, following multiple reports of vaping incidents. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia stated that the use of vapes is against Indian law and must be respected.
