The Rajasthan Royals have faced scrutiny in the ongoing 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) due to two separate incidents involving team officials. Team manager Romi Bhinder was fined INR 1 lakh (approximately $1,200 USD) for using a mobile phone in the dugout during a match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Meanwhile, captain Riyan Parag was docked 25% of his match fees for vaping in the dressing room, an act that sparked significant outrage as vaping is illegal in India. In response to these violations, Devajit Saikia, BCCI secretary, stated that the board is reviewing protocols and considering further actions against teams that violate IPL norms. Saikia emphasized the necessity of maintaining decorum to protect the IPL's reputation, indicating that the board will take decisive action to address such misconduct. Both Bhinder and Parag accepted their penalties, acknowledging their infractions.
