The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering disciplinary action against the match referee following an incident where Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Riyan Parag was caught vaping in the dressing room during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Punjab Kings (PBKS). BCCI sources indicate that while there is no rule to penalize Parag for vaping, the match referee could face consequences for failing to prevent a banned substance from entering the dressing area. Despite RR's strong performance this season, with six wins and three losses, Parag's individual performance has been underwhelming, scoring only 117 runs in nine matches. The team is currently positioned fourth in the IPL standings with 12 points and will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in their next match.
