Riyan Parag Vaping Row: For starters, let us clear this that the vaping incident is not the first time Riyan Parag has found himself in trouble. The RR captain has found himself in trouble in the past as well. But before we list out the other instances where Parag was guilty of mischief, let us give you an update of what has happened that has put the spotlight on the RR captain.
Rajasthan Royals beat Punjab Kings in a thriller in New Chandigarh by six wickets.

The incident took place just after Parag was dismissed.

YT Search Row: Not long back, Parag found himself in the spotlight once a recording of a live stream on Parag's YouTube channel surfaced for a few seconds. It was seen that his search history included queries about Bollywood actresses Ananya Panday and Sara Ali Khan. The RR captain had later claimed that it was an attempt to tarnish his image.
