In a clip circulating online, Rajasthan Royals manager Romi Bhinder was seen using a mobile phone in the team dugout. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, seated next to him, was also seen glancing at the device.<\/p>\n

The incident was captured by broadcasters in the 11th over of Rajasthan\u2019s chase of 202, shortly after Vaibhav\u2019s dismissal.<\/p>\n

RR manager breaches IPL rule<\/h2>\n

According to the IPL PMOA (Player and Match Officials Area) protocol, \u201cMobile phones and other electronic communication devices are not allowed to be used in the PMOA.\u201d This area includes dressing rooms, players\u2019 external match-viewing areas, the TV\/third umpire area, match referee\u2019s room, players\u2019 and match officials\u2019 dining areas, dugouts, and any other area designated by the BCCI Anti-Corruption and Security Manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is worth noting that while electronic devices are permitted in dugouts, this applies only to the team analyst at a designated analyst table. The rule clearly states: \u201cThe Team Manager may use a phone in the dressing room area but NOT in the dugout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two BCCI Anti-Corruption Managers, appointed by the Head of the BCCI Anti-Corruption and Security Unit, are responsible for overseeing the PMOA and ensuring proper protocols are followed.<\/p>\n

The guidelines also state that players and support staff must switch off and deposit phones, smartwatches, or any communication devices with the Team Security Liaison Officer (SLO) upon arrival at the stadium.<\/p>\n

The moment did not go unnoticed by Lalit Modi, who questioned the presence of anti-corruption officials. He termed it a \u201ccomplete no-no\u201d and called for swift action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHaving a mobile phone in the dugout is a complete no-no. Did this really happen? I hope not. If it did, then the IPL governing council needs to take immediate action,\u201d he posted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
