The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to conduct a thorough review regarding Rajasthan Royals manager Romi Bhinder's alleged breach of the Indian Premier League (IPL) rules. Bhinder was caught on camera using his phone in the team dugout during a match, which is against the league's Anti-Corruption policies. While team managers are allowed to use phones in dressing rooms, usage in the dugout is strictly prohibited to prevent any potential corrupt approaches from outside sources. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed that the board has not yet taken action and will examine video evidence before making a decision. The investigation may also extend to 15-year-old player Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who was seen looking at Bhinder's phone. Match referee Vengalil Narayanan Kutty will submit a report that could influence the next steps, as violations of the Anti-Corruption Code could lead to penalties ranging from fines to suspension.
