The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has concluded its investigation into Romi Bhinder, the manager of Rajasthan Royals, finding no corrupt intent in his actions during a match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati on April 10. Bhinder was found to have violated the Players and Match Officials Areas (PMOA) rules by using a mobile phone in the dugout, where such devices are prohibited. He received a nominal fine of ₹1 lakh (approximately $1,200 USD) and a warning. The incident occurred while he was addressing a sponsorship issue, which he handled using his phone rather than a walkie-talkie. Bhinder had previously communicated his limited mobility due to a medical condition that required hospitalization before the Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The BCCI has also reminded all vendors and officials to adhere strictly to ACSU regulations to prevent future violations.
