The Lucknow Super Giants, owned by Sanjiv Goenka, are under scrutiny following an incident during their IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings on May 10, 2026. An individual wearing an LSG jersey was seen using a mobile phone, which is strictly prohibited in the dugouts as per the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) anti-corruption protocols. This rule aims to prevent unauthorized communication during matches. While team managers are allowed to use mobile phones in the dressing room, doing so in the dugout constitutes a violation of regulations. The incident was highlighted on social media, prompting calls for action from the BCCI. Recently, Rajasthan Royals team manager Romi Bhinder faced disciplinary action for a similar violation, resulting in a fine of ₹1 lakh and a warning from the BCCI. The governing body is expected to investigate the LSG incident to determine if any action is warranted.
