Rajasthan Royals manager Romi Bhinder, who is performing brilliantly in IPL 2026, seems to be getting into trouble for using his mobile while sitting in the dugout. Using mobile in the dugout like this during the match is against the rules. Now while talking on this matter, a BCCI official said that action should be taken against the team manager.
Let us tell you that Romi Bhinder’s use of mobile in the dugout is a violation of the Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA) protocol of IPL. Rajasthan played the fourth match on 10 April against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Guwahati. During this match, a video of mobile being used in the dugout surfaced.

action should be taken against the manager
Speaking to news agency PTI, a BCCI official said, “Romi Bhinder has indeed violated the PMOA protocol. Using a mobile phone while sitting in the dugout during a match is not allowed. It may be unintentional, but action should be taken in the matter. The decision on whether he will be warned or banned will depend on the report of the match referee and the anti-corruption unit. Then on the basis of that, the IPL Governing Council can take a decision.”
Electronic devices have to be deposited before the match starts
All players and support staff are required to submit their electronic devices before the start of the match. This is decided for anti-corruption protection. The purpose of collecting the mobile is to prevent anyone from talking to anyone outside during the match. Let us tell you that former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi also reacted on the mobile video and demanded strict action. Now it will be interesting to see what action is taken in the matter.
This is COMPLETELY a NO NO. WHERE WAS ANTI CORRUPTION 😳 https://t.co/6za4cvc6gm
