Rajasthan Royals (RR) manager Romi Bhinder has been found guilty of violating anti-corruption protocols during an IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 10, 2026. Bhinder was spotted using a mobile phone near the dugout, which is against the Player and Match Officials Areas (PMOA) protocol that restricts mobile phone usage to the dressing room. Despite the breach being labeled as 'injudicious and indiscreet,' a report suggests that Bhinder is likely to face only a minor sanction, including a fine and a warning, due to the absence of malicious intent. The investigation by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) found that Bhinder's medical condition necessitated the phone's use, leading to leniency in the punishment. Bhinder has since apologized for the lapse. The Rajasthan Royals will next compete against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Eden Gardens, currently holding the third position in the IPL points table with four wins and one loss.
