Riyan Parag, the 24-year-old captain of Rajasthan Royals, is under scrutiny from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after being filmed vaping in the dressing room during a recent IPL match against Punjab Kings in Chandigarh. E-cigarettes are prohibited in India under a 2019 law that bans their manufacture, sale, and possession. Violators can face fines of up to ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000) and imprisonment. Parag's vaping incident has raised concerns about setting a poor example, especially as he has struggled this season, averaging only 14.62 runs across nine matches. In the match, Rajasthan Royals successfully chased down 222 runs, handing Punjab Kings their first defeat of the season, with Parag contributing 29 runs. This incident follows a recent fine of ₹100,000 imposed on the team's manager for using a mobile phone in the dugout, indicating a growing focus on discipline within the team.
