A viral video allegedly featuring Kagiso Rabada has sparked widespread discussion across social media, with claims suggesting the Gujarat Titans pacer was seen smoking at an undisclosed location. The clip has triggered mixed reactions among fans, though it’s important to underline that its authenticity remains unverified.
While Rabada appears in the footage, the context, timing, and setting remain unclear. Several other individuals — believed to be part of the Gujarat Titans setup — can also be seen, but their identities have not been confirmed. Without official clarification, the video remains speculative, despite gaining significant online traction.
On the field, Rabada has been a key figure for the Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. The South African quick has picked up 10 wickets in six matches and currently sits among the leading wicket-takers this season. Although his economy rate of 9.73 reflects a few expensive spells, his ability to strike at crucial moments has made him an integral part of GT’s bowling attack.

The resurfacing of the clip has also reignited conversations around Rabada’s past disciplinary issues. During a previous IPL season, he served a one-month suspension handed by the South African Institute for Drug Free Sports. While he later returned to action, the specifics of the case were never publicly disclosed, leaving room for continued speculation.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first such incident this season. A similar unverified video involving Yuzvendra Chahal had also gone viral earlier, drawing criticism online. For now, Rabada’s clip remains unconfirmed, with neither the player nor the franchise issuing an official statement.
