Australian batsman Aaron Finch was seen vaping during the 33rd match of the 2020 IPL between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals, which the Virat Kohli-led team won in an exciting way over seven wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
During the game’s finale on Saturday, when RCB required 10 runs of the final six balls during its 178 chase, the cameras were focused on RCB’s locker room to capture the tension on the players’ faces. It was then that Finch was seen vaping while exhaling smoke using probably an e-cigarette.
Video of the incident went viral on social media, prompting contrasting reactions from fans. Some of the social media users even consulted posts about IPL rules and regulations in the locker room.

“IPL, is it legal to #vape inside the dressing rooms? What does Aaron Finch say? Royal Challengers Bangalore, do you have something to say? Virat Kohli was right in front of Finch, I’m sure you can attest to what I saw! tweeted one of the users.
Meanwhile, RCB was able to record a thrilling victory, thanks to the brilliance of their star hitter AB de Villiers. The former Proteas captain played an undefeated knock of 55 as the Bengaluru team chased the goal with two balls to spare. His 22-ball hit was studded with 6 6s and a 4 and helped RCB record their sixth victory of the tournament.
