Rajasthan Royals could face scrutiny after a viral video showed a member of their support staff allegedly using a mobile phone in the dugout during the IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Guwahati.<\/p>\n
As per IPL rules, mobile phones and electronic devices are not allowed in the Player and Match Officials Area (PMOA), including dressing rooms and dugouts, due to anti-corruption protocols. The clip, which has circulated widely, appears to show a staff member seated next to Vaibhav Sooryavanshi using a phone during live play.<\/p>\n
Clear breach or misunderstanding? BCCI yet to respond<\/strong><\/p>\n If confirmed, the incident would amount to a direct breach of the Board of Control for Cricket in India anti-corruption code. The board has not issued any statement so far, but the footage has raised questions.<\/p>\n Was permission granted for any specific reason? Why was the breach not flagged during the match itself?<\/p>\n If found guilty, the individual involved could face sanctions ranging from fines to a ban from entering the PMOA. The franchise could also come under scrutiny depending on the findings. Was it a lapse in protocol or a serious violation ?<\/p>\n Sooryavanshi\u2019s storm is not slowing down<\/strong><\/p>\n The controversy comes on a day when Rajasthan Royals dominated on the field. Chasing 202, Sooryavanshi scored 78 off 26 balls, helping his side close in on the target early.<\/p>\n He was supported by Dhruv Jurel, who added 81, as RR completed the chase comfortably and continued their strong run this season.<\/p>\n Despite the win, Sooryavanshi admitted he wanted to do more and was disappointed at getting out early, saying he could have finished the game sooner or added extra runs.<\/p>\n The focus, however, may now shift off the field. Will the BCCI step in? Will there be an investigation? And if rules were broken, will strict action follow?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rajasthan Royals could face scrutiny after a viral video showed a member of their support staff allegedly using a mobile\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":473,"featured_media":48270,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[4057],"class_list":["post-48268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/473"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48268"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48272,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48268\/revisions\/48272"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48270"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
