Through the course of IPL 2026, many controversies have erupted across social media involving both players and teams. Some on-field incidents and "untoward" activities in the players' hotels have been brought to the attention of the BCCI as well.
Among other things, the BCCI warned players and franchises against potential honey-trapping and tried to curb the players' girlfriends from travelling with the teams. Apart from this, the BCCI also wanted franchises to hold back on 'reel culture' and vlogging.
The advisory had come after a few concerning incidents during the matches. Rajasthan Royals' team manager Romi Bhinder was seen using a phone in the team dugout during a match. A few matches later, the team's skipper, Riyan Parag, was seen lighting an e-cigarette in the dressing room even though vaping is illegal in India.
"The new directives are reinforcements" - Arun Dhumal
IPL Governing Council Chairman Arun Dhumal spoke to India Today at the sidelines of the Punjab Kings versus Royal Challengers Bengaluru match at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. He said that while the board doesn't really wish to control what players post on social media, they want to keep the integrity of the game intact.
He was also asked about the BCCI's new advisory, and said that it was a reminder rather than a new policy altogether. He said that some small incidents have harmed the integrity of the game, and the BCCI just wanted to reinforce the standards that both teams and players should adhere to.
“All of them are very responsible, and they know that for sure. So it's always a collective effort of BCCI and all the franchises wherein we make sure that the integrity of the game is respected and the quality of games is maintained," he added.
"I'm personally not in favour of social media" - Arun Dhumal
Dhumal then went on to talk about his thoughts on social media and how it affects all involved.
He was then asked whether a policy would be made asking players not to use social media at all, especially during the IPL.
"No, people would eventually understand. People get the fancy of this thing for some time, but eventually, you understand that it is the real human values and human relationships that matter. And more in terms of the kind of technological intervention that we are having, the core human values would be the most premium," he replied.
