Devajit Saikia, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), stated that players and officials must maintain decorum to protect the Indian Premier League (IPL) image. This comes after Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag was fined 25% of his match fee for vaping in the dressing room during a match against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, while team manager Romi Bhinder was penalized ₹1 lakh (roughly $1,200 USD) for using a mobile phone in the dugout. Saikia indicated that the BCCI is considering stricter measures to address violations of conduct norms. He confirmed that there has been no approach from Punjab Police regarding the incident, despite vaping being banned in India under the Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act, 2019. The BCCI aims to ensure that the reputation of the IPL remains intact and will take necessary actions against teams and officials who breach the established protocols.
