During a recent BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) broadcast, veteran streamer Raj “Snax” Varma found himself at odds with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. What was intended as lighthearted trolling by Chahal quickly turned into a headache for Snax, leading to a public display of frustration from the streamer.
Snax vs Yuzi Chahal: The “Lag” Trigger
The friction began when Chahal jokingly unfollowed Snax on social media to pique the audience’s interest. However, the situation shifted from playful to problematic when Chahal entered the live chat and typed “lag.” Despite the stream running smoothly, the “Chahal effect” caused thousands of viewers to echo the comment, flooding the chat with spam. This artificial chaos disrupted the flow of the session and tested Snax’s patience in front of his massive audience.

Integrity Over Influence
The breaking point came when Chahal publicly suggested they form a team to play immediately. While many streamers would jump at the chance to play with a high-profile athlete for the “viral” factor, Snax stayed firm on his professional principles:
- Loyalty to Teammates: Snax emphasized that he starts his sessions with a pre-arranged lineup. He refused to drop his current teammates mid-stream just to make room for a celebrity guest.
- Direct Communication: Visible annoyed by the public “call-out,” Snax reminded Chahal that they share a personal connection. “You have my number—message me on WhatsApp if you want to play,” he stated, making it clear that professional collaborations require planning, not public trolling.
The exchange sparked a debate among fans. While some viewed Snax’s response as overly stern toward a friend, the majority praised his commitment to his craft. By prioritizing his scheduled team and demanding private communication for play requests, Snax reinforced a vital boundary: a live stream is a workplace, regardless of who is watching.
Whether the two will mend fences on the virtual battlefield remains to be seen, but for now, the message is clear: professional standards come before celebrity cameos.
