Riyan Parag came into the spotlight after videos showing him vaping inside the Rajasthan Royals dressing room went viral during their match against Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 in New Chandigarh on Tuesday. The incident occurred in the 16th over of the second innings when a broadcast camera briefly captured Parag with what looked like a vape. The footage quickly went viral, leading to many fans expressing concern and calling for action. This moment gained even more attention as it came right after Parag got out, having scored 29 runs off 16 balls, failing to capitalise at a key moment in the chase. Since then, the video has circulated widely on social media, raising questions about possible disciplinary measures.
