Sanjay Manjrekar Defends Riyan Parag Amid Vape Controversy

Former Indian cricketer has come out in support of young Rajasthan Royals player amid the controversy surrounding an alleged illegal vape supplier connection.

Manjrekar stated that Parag had become a “soft target” and was being subjected to excessive public scrutiny over the issue. He argued that while the cricketer’s actions were being analyzed under a microscope, the focus should instead shift toward identifying and taking action against those illegally supplying banned vape products.

The controversy sparked major discussions online, with many debating whether young athletes are unfairly judged compared to others involved in similar situations. Manjrekar emphasized that accountability should extend beyond celebrities and public figures to the actual networks enabling illegal distribution.

Meanwhile, the incident has once again reignited conversations around vaping regulations, youth influence, and the responsibility carried by sports personalities with massive fan followings.

As reactions continue pouring in, Riyan Parag remains one of the most discussed young cricketers both on and off the field.
