    'Integrity Of The Sport Is Crucial': Lalit Modi On RR Manager Using Phone Controversy

    By IANS News April 12, 2026 • 21:42 PM View: 311
    Indian Premier League: Founder of Indian Premier League (IPL) Lalit Modi stressed that the integrity of the game must remain non-negotiable amid the recent controversy after Rajastan Royals manager Romi Bhinder spotted using a mobile phone in the dugout during the side’s IPL 2026 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Guwahati.

    Modi warned that the IPL has drifted from its originally strict anti-corruption framework and calling for a return to tighter control, stronger enforcement, and system-driven credibility.

    "Integrity of the Sport is crucial : From the very beginning, the IPL was built on one non-negotiable principle—integrity of the game. In 2008, we didn’t just create a league, we created a controlled environment. Anti-corruption protocols, restricted access, monitored communication, and tight operational discipline around players, umpires, and match officials were all embedded into the system from day one. The idea was simple: eliminate opportunity, not just punish misconduct," Lakit Modi posted on X.
