Riyan Parag led his side brilliantly in Match 40 of IPL 2026 on Tuesday, April 28, as Rajasthan Royals became the first team to defeat Punjab Kings this season. However, a moment that caught the RR skipper off guard was when live television visuals confirmed that Parag was indulging in a vape inside the dressing room shortly after his dismissal in the match.

Parag scored 29 off just 16 balls, getting out on the last ball of the 14th over. Just seven balls into his departure, the broadcast showed a visual of the live scenes in the dressing room where the Guwahati-born was seen dragging a vape device, while teammates Dhruv Jurel, Kuldeep Sen, and Yudhvir Singh Charak were also sitting nearby.

“Spotted something questionable in the dressing room during today’s match. Not making any claims, but this deserves a look.#rrvspbks @BCCI @IPL
