Using phones or any kind of communicative devices is not allowed in the dugout during a match. As Romi Bhinder was using a phone during a Rajasthan Royals match, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the IPL governing council imposed a fine on him for breaching the Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA) rules. Under this rule, the board fined INR 1 lakh to the RR manager.
“Why fine only. Should be banned - zero tolerance is the only mantra. This shows the BCCI and IPL governing council are not ready to be a zero-tolerance administration. They are always protecting someone or something. Shut him down, guys. " The only way to get a message to one and all,” Lalit Modi wrote on his ‘X’ post.

It was the Rajasthan Royals vs RCB match in Guwahati
The incident was captured during the Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RR vs RCB) match in Guwahati on April 10. Bhinder was spotted clearly, using a phone in the team’s dugout when the match was underway. RR opener Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was sitting next to him in the dugout.
BCCI issued an official statement on the matter
“The team led by Sharad Kumar examined Bhinder's response and found him guilty. His response to the notice was unsatisfactory. He was found guilty of breaching the protocol. As it is a first-time offence, a one lakh fine has been imposed, and a warning has been issued. Acknowledging the lapse, Mr. Bhinder admitted to the offence and offered an unconditional apology,” BCCI informed in an official statement.
“Using a phone in the dugout is a strict no-no, and being part of the IPL for long, I am sure Bhinder was aware of it. It could have happened inadvertently as well, but the BCCI has dealt with the issue appropriately,” the source said.
