Riyan Parag Caught Vaping In IPL Dressing Room, In Line For BCCI Punishment | Watch
Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag was caught vaping in the dressing room during an IPL match, potentially facing punishment.Summary
Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag was captured vaping in the team dressing room during the IPL 2026 match against the Punjab Kings at the New PCA Stadium in Mullanpur. A video of the incident, which occurred during the 16th over of the second innings, has gone viral on social media. While the IPL Code of Conduct does not explicitly mention the word 'vaping,' e-cigarettes are illegal in India under national law, and stadium security rules designate venues as non-smoking public areas. Violating these rules could be considered an act that brings the game into disrepute, potentially leading to a reprimand, deduction of match fees, or suspension by the Match Referee. This incident adds to the off-field scrutiny facing the Rajasthan Royals, who recently secured a victory over the Punjab Kings. The team is already dealing with controversy after team manager Romi Bhinder was seen using his mobile phone in the team dugout during a live match earlier in the season.
