RR Manager Was Using Phone In Dugout As A Precautionary Measure; He Had His Lungs Collapse In Past: Report
The New Indian Express: A new detail has emerged in the controversy after Rajasthan Royals manager Romi Bhinder spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during an IPL match, with reports claiming Bhinder was using the phone as a precautionary measure due to medical issues.
During the IPL 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati, the incident captured live by TV cameras at the ACA Stadium showed Bhinder using a device while seated next to teenaged left-handed opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was looking at the screen. The footage then went viral and raised questions regarding the breach of the league’s strict anti-corruption protocols.
According to the IPL’s Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA), a team manager may use a phone in the dressing room area but ‘NOT’ in the dugout. The BCCI has initiated a formal investigation into matter.
