In a recent match against the Delhi Capitals, Riyan Parag (captain of the Rajasthan Royals) scored 90 runs off 50 balls, hitting 8 fours and 5 sixes. Despite his efforts, the Royals lost by 7 wickets, as the Capitals successfully chased down a target of 225 runs. Parag, addressing his critics, stated, "I don't think I need to answer any critics... my job is to get two points," emphasizing that individual scores are insignificant if the team does not win. This performance comes on the heels of a fine imposed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for breaching the IPL's Code of Conduct by vaping in the dressing room. The BCCI fined him 25% of his match fee and issued one demerit point, citing that the incident brought the game into disrepute. The board is also exploring further actions against the team and its officials to maintain the integrity of the IPL.
