Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag scored a brilliant 90 off 50 balls against Delhi Capitals, yet the team suffered a seven-wicket defeat. Despite his return to form, Parag dismissed the need to respond to criticism regarding his recent vaping controversy, stating, "I don’t think I need to answer any critics or anyone talking about it." He emphasized that team success is paramount, noting that his individual performance is irrelevant if the team loses. The controversy began when Parag was caught vaping in the dugout during a previous match against Punjab Kings, resulting in a fine and disciplinary action. Parag's form had been under scrutiny prior to this innings, as he had scored only 117 runs from nine matches. Despite a strong partnership with Donovan Ferreira, Rajasthan Royals could not defend their total, with Delhi Capitals winning the match.
