Romi Bhinder, manager of the Rajasthan Royals cricket team, is facing an investigation by the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) after being caught using a mobile phone in the dugout during an IPL match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Footage of Bhinder using his device went viral, prompting IPL chairman Arun Dhumal to address the situation. He stated that while managers can have phones for emergencies, they are not allowed in the dugout, as per the Players Match Official Area (PMOA) rules. The protocol clearly states that communication devices must be turned off and stored away upon arrival at the stadium.
