WATCH: Before Riyan Parag Vaping Row, Ex-RCB Player Caught Using E-Cigarette in IPL 2020 — Was Any Action Taken?
Summary
The article discusses the recent viral video of Riyan Parag vaping during an IPL 2026 match, highlighting the legal implications in India where vaping is illegal and carries severe penalties. It contrasts this with the case of former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) player Aaron Finch, who was also caught vaping during the IPL 2020 edition. While Parag's actions have drawn mixed reactions and potential legal scrutiny, no official statement has been issued by the BCCI or the IPL governing council. Finch, however, faced no action at the time because vaping is legal in the United Arab Emirates under strict regulations. The article also briefly mentions the Rajasthan Royals' victory over the Punjab Kings in the match, noting the performances of Prabhsimran Singh, Marcus Stoinis, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
