IPL 2026: RR’s Romi Bhinder fined for phone breach; BCCI calls response ‘unsatisfactory’
NEW DELHI: In a firm reminder of its zero-tolerance stance on anti-corruption protocols, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has fined Rajasthan Royals team manager Romi Bhinder Rs 1 lakh for breaching match-day regulations during an Indian Premier League fixture.
The incident occurred during Rajasthan Royals’ IPL 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on April 10, where Bhinder was found using a mobile phone inside the team dugout — a clear violation of the IPL’s Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA) protocols.

ACU finds response ‘unsatisfactory’
The BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), headed by Sharad Kumar, had issued a showcause notice seeking an explanation from Bhinder. However, after reviewing his response, the board deemed it unsatisfactory.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed that Bhinder was found guilty of breaching protocol.
“The team led by Sharad Kumar examined Bhinder’s response and found him guilty. His reply was not satisfactory,” Saikia said. “As this is a first-time offence, a fine of Rs 1 lakh has been imposed along with a warning.”
Bhinder has since acknowledged the lapse and issued an unconditional apology, according to the IPL media advisory.
Strict rules, no exceptions
The IPL’s PMOA guidelines strictly prohibit the use of mobile phones and other communication devices in sensitive areas like the dugout, allowing their use only within designated dressing room spaces.
As per the rules, all players and support staff must switch off and deposit their devices with the team’s security liaison officer upon arrival at the venue. Only limited personnel, such as analysts at designated stations, are permitted to use approved devices.
The breach gained attention after visuals showed Bhinder scrolling on his smartphone in the dugout, with young player Vaibhav Sooryavanshi seated nearby.
Sources indicated that Bhinder has been dealing with health issues, which may have contributed to the lapse, though the BCCI maintained that protocol violations cannot be overlooked.
“Using a phone in the dugout is a strict no-no. Given his experience, he would have been aware of the rules. It may have been inadvertent, but the board has handled it appropriately,” a source told PTI.
BENGALURU: Ahead of Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s previous outing against Lucknow Super Giants, Virat Kohli cut an unusual figure. The superstar opener went through his pre-match routine with his knee strapped, already nursing an ankle niggle picked up during the away game against Mumbai Indians. When the team sheet was announced, his name appeared in an unfamiliar column — among the reserves.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!For a player who thrives on being in the thick of the action, watching from the dugout would have been far from ideal. Yet, Kohli made his presence felt when it mattered, walking in to open the innings during the chase as an Impact Player. It was the first time Kohli was seen in that role. He slipped seamlessly into top gear, scoring 49 off 34 balls to steer the chase.After the win, Kohli revealed the extent of his discomfort. “My knee was a bit sore last game. Even health-wise, I’ve been under the weather for four or five days,” he said.Not one known to be a strong advocate of the Impact Player rule, Kohli nevertheless embraced the role when circumstances demanded it. Given the intensity with which he approaches the game, adapting to such situations may become necessary as the season progresses.Teammate Josh Hazlewood confirmed that Kohli is set to feature against Delhi Capitals on Saturday, though he did not rule out the possibility of him continuing as an Impact Player.“I think he’ll definitely play. It’s just whether he’s right to take the field. It’ll be precautionary, and we’ll keep using the Impact Player role for as long as he needs to,” Hazlewood said.Highlighting the utility of the rule, the Australian pacer added, “He’s probably fortunate we’ve got that option. A lot of teams use it for someone coming back from injury or carrying a niggle. It’s invaluable when your main skill can still contribute.”Hazlewood, however, acknowledged that keeping Kohli away from the field is easier said than done. “Obviously I’d love to have him on the field. He’s got great energy, one of our best fielders. But knowing him, he’s not a great watcher of cricket. He loves to be out there and having an impact. So I think he’ll be with the physios trying to get back out there.”
There was sky blue smoke coming from the Darwen End. After 25 years, Coventry City’s exile was over. There have been times in the past quarter of a century when it has felt never-ending, points when they trailed at Ewood Park when it looked like it would be extended for a little longer.
Then Bobby Thomas headed in Victor Torp’s free kick, his name echoed around Blackburn – the town, it seemed, and not merely the football club – and confirmation came that Coventry’s stay in the EFL will end. They needed a point and got precisely that. The messages on the scarves and banners the enterprising traders were hawking outside Ewood Park – reading “we are Premier League” – will become fact. Frank Lampard has an achievement that brooks no dissent, which cannot be caveated with asterisks.
There was an invasion from the Midlanders, 7,000 fans in the stand behind the goal where Thomas scored, a few more who had bought tickets among the Blackburn supporters. No wonder. Coventry may have stumbled over the line, their performance had been largely mediocre, but there is a case for calling this their greatest day since the 1987 FA Cup final.
Go back a decade and it could be argued the Coventry fanbase were starved of joy more than any other. While it did span their 1987 glory, they went 47 years without finishing in the top six in any division. Once Premier League ever-presents, they were tumbling into League Two. Once the constants in the top flight, the club with the uncanny ability to avoid relegation, Coventry then became the strangers from it. Some 44 other clubs have played Premier League football during Coventry’s long absence.
Now a comeback is complete. This has been the fall and rise of Coventry; perhaps the fall and rise of Lampard, too, given that it was easy to assume his ignominious second spell at Chelsea might have finished him off as a manager. Lampard had successes at Coventry, Chelsea – the first time around – and Everton, but none as seismic as this. He is a history-maker, in unlikely company with Jimmy Hill, who secured Coventry’s only previous promotion to the top flight, back in 1967.
Now Lampard has emulated him. Coventry were 17th in the Championship when Lampard took over. Their next target may be 17th in the Premier League. As it is, two managers have been transformative for a club that reached the lowest ebbs in the lowest division. They bottomed out when 10th in the fourth tier. Mark Robins was the architect of a rise, taking them up two divisions and to a Championship play-off final. His sacking seemed harsh; the subsequent choice of Lampard was met with scepticism. A mocked appointment has proved a masterstroke. “Super Frank,” a chant familiar from Stamford Bridge for many a year, has earned the nickname and the chant in Coventry.
A man whose medals justify descriptions of him as a player can now say he is as a manager. A commanding promotion was achieved without parachute payments, even if with a supportive owner, in Doug King. Few envisaged a season of dominating the Championship, but Lampard oversaw one.
There are men who stand out. Matt Grimes, signed in Lampard’s first transfer window, was a catalyst as captain. Two astute loan recruits in Carl Rushworth, the best goalkeeper in the division, and Frank Onyeka, a mid-season injection of excellence. It has been a collective effort, with seven players scoring at least seven goals. That strength in depth was shown when Torp came off the bench to turn provider for Thomas’ goal. It was Coventry’s first in three games.
They can testify that the last step can be the hardest, even for a club that have taken giant strides. They could have gone up last week, but could not score against a Sheffield Wednesday team whose points tally begins with a minus sign. They trailed to Blackburn, who are at risk of relegation to League One, though their eventual point should help Michael O’Neill complete his admirable rescue job. Rovers were the better side and merited a lead given to them by Ryoyo Morishita, who deflected a shot on the turn; Lampard, often unfairly accused of scoring deflected goals, could rue this.
But Coventry summoned a response. Lampard turned to his bench, and Torp allowed Thomas to take his place in City folklore.
It won’t be Coventry’s most famous header – Keith Houchen will forever have that distinction – but it allowed them to complete a belated return. It may have been apt that Blackburn’s PA selected Pulp’s Disco 2000 to soundtrack the celebrations. In a way, they have transported everyone back to a bygone era.
They were relegated by a David Ginola-inspired comeback from Aston Villa in 2001, a Coventry team including future international managers Craig Bellamy and Lee Carsley, plus John Hartson, Mustapha Hadji and Chris Kirkland. There may be fewer big names in the side that has come back up. But that only emphasises the achievement, Lampard’s greatest in a dugout.
Even at 38 years of age, Julio Cesar “Cata” Dominguez is still fit enough to see minutes at the highest level of Mexican soccer. But he put in a request this week to move to a lower category for a special reason.
A Cruz Azul legend after playing more matches than any other player for the Mexico City club, Dominguez currently suits up for Atletico San Luis. He has appeared in four matches this season, but on Friday dropped to the U-21 level so he could face his son, a Pumas academy player.

The father shared an emotional hug with his son, who turns 18 Sunday, April 19, before the match.
Julio Cesar Dominguez Junior entered the game in the 74th minute, allowing the father and son to share the field in a competitive game for likely the only time in their lives. The younger Dominguez is registered as a defender, like his dad, but also has played in the midfield.
While Mexico’s youth levels are intended for developing players, teams are permitted to drop senior players into those matches so they can pick up minutes or recover from injury.
Is Cata Dominguez retiring from soccer?
The elder Dominguez’s contract with Atletico San Luis runs out this summer, but he is yet to announce his future plans. His career will reach 20 years later this month since he made his professional debut April 29, 2006 at the age of 18. Initially a pure center back, Dominguez developed into a versatile defender who also could play right back. That ability to adapt made him an attractive player for Mexico national team managers, and he earned more than two-dozen caps for El Tri.

Friday’s match ended 1-1 with Pumas taking the contest in a penalty shootout. The clubs’ senior teams meet Friday, April 17 with Atlético San Luis needing points to get into the playoff and Pumas hoping to solidify its place in the top four ahead of the Liguilla.

BENGALURU: When KL Rahul walked into the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday evening, it was with his usual swagger — but also a quiet sense of homecoming. From security personnel to ground staff, familiar faces paused to greet the homegrown star, who acknowledged them with a smile. The venue, after all, remains a second home for the Delhi Capitals’ senior pro. It’s a ground where he honed his craft and one where he will hope to rediscover rhythm after a stop-start campaign so far.Up against his former side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, on Saturday afternoon, Rahul will be eager to make the most of familiar conditions. After a prolific 2025 season in which he amassed 539 runs, the elegant opener has managed just 111 from four outings this year, with a highest score of 92 against Gujarat Titans. Few can question his pedigree, but consistency has eluded him. RCB, however, know better than most how dangerous Rahul can be if he settles in.
Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!At a venue where 200-plus totals have become the norm, Delhi Capitals will be desperate for a turnaround. The larger challenge, though, lies in halting a rampaging RCB unit that has made the Chinnaswamy a fortress this season.The surface here can be unforgiving for erring bowlers, and Capitals will need a marked improvement from their attack. Skipper Axar Patel and fellow spinner Kuldeep Yadav are yet to find their rhythm, while the pace unit has lacked continuity. Auqib Nabi, who enjoyed a breakthrough domestic season, has featured only once, with Lungi Ngidi, Mukesh Kumar and T Natarajan preferred options so far. On a ground where variations and execution are key, that inconsistency could prove costly.ALSO READ: Impact role again on the cards for Virat Kohli?The struggles are not limited to bowling. Barring the promising Sameer Rizvi, the batting line-up has lacked stability. Experienced campaigners like David Miller, Pathum Nissanka, Nitish Rana and Tristan Stubbs have all blown hot and cold, leaving the side searching for a collective effort. The visitors, however, have had time to regroup. They arrived early in the city from Chennai and have put in the hard yards at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.For RCB, it has taken more than a decade to turn Chinnaswamy into a stronghold. This season they have been near flawless, winning all three home games in high-scoring encounters. Their campaign, much like last year, has been built on depth and shared responsibility rather than individual brilliance.While Phil Salt is yet to explode to his full potential, Virat Kohli has already donned the Orange Cap. Tim David’s finishing prowess and Devdutt Padikkal’s solidity at the top have further strengthened the batting unit. Leading the charge, however, has been skipper Rajat Patidar, who has been in imperious touch, scoring 222 runs in five matches at a strike rate in excess of 200.“His batting has been unbelievable,” Josh Hazlewood said on the eve of the game. “He walks in and can hit the first ball for four or six. He hasn’t just maintained momentum, he’s taken it to another level, especially in that 7-15 over phase.”RCB, who will don their green jerseys for the fixture, face a fresh challenge in what will be their first day game of the season. But with momentum and form on their side, they will back themselves to extend their dominance.

IPL 2026 Points Table after Match 25: Gujarat Titans surge into top four as KKR remain winless | Cricket News

IPL 2026: Shubman Gill shines as GT complete clinical chase, KKR remain winless | Cricket News
Shubman Gill’s classy 86 anchored Gujarat Titans to a convincing five-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2026 on Friday, after Kagiso Rabada and Mohammed Siraj had earlier set up the victory with a disciplined and incisive new-ball spell.Rabada (3/29) and Siraj (2/23) ripped through the KKR top order, making full use of movement and early assistance from the pitch. Their early breakthroughs left KKR struggling at 37 for 3 in the powerplay, a collapse from which they never fully recovered.
Despite the early damage, KKR found resistance through Cameron Green, who played a lone but determined hand with 79 off 55 balls. It was his most impactful innings of the season, featuring controlled aggression and strong partnerships with Rovman Powell and Anukul Roy. However, regular wickets at the other end prevented him from building a match-defining stand.Green also enjoyed a few moments of fortune, surviving an early LBW shout, seeing an edge run away for four, and being dropped on 62 by Washington Sundar. Even so, he continued to keep KKR afloat before eventually falling in the final over to Rashid Khan.In reply, Gujarat Titans seized control early, with Gill dictating terms in the powerplay. He struck three boundaries and a six inside the first three overs, including a crisp straight drive, setting the tone for the chase.Gill paced his innings beautifully thereafter, combining fluency with control. His knock of 86 included eight fours and four sixes, as he ensured GT remained ahead throughout the chase despite occasional wickets.Sai Sudharsan provided early support before Jos Buttler added quick impetus with an aggressive cameo, striking a boundary and a six soon after arriving at the crease.Although KKR managed to pick up wickets in the middle overs, they were unable to build sustained pressure. GT’s batting depth ensured there were no major hiccups as they cruised towards the target.Earlier, KKR’s innings had begun poorly, with Ajinkya Rahane falling for a golden duck to Siraj in the opening over. Rabada then struck twice more, including a sharp outswinger that induced an edge from Angkrish Raghuvanshi and a short-of-a-length dismissal of Tim Seifert, who was caught at point by Glenn Phillips.KKR’s innings never fully recovered from that early blow, setting up Gujarat Titans’ comfortable win.With this win, Gujarat Titans climb to fourth place on the IPL 2026 points table, while Kolkata Knight Riders remain bottom after another defeat.
We’ve written recently that teams like the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets could give the Cincinnati Bengals problems during the first round of the NFL draft.
Those are trade problems, as the Cowboys and Jets seem like threats to trade up, jumping over the Bengals for a prospect like Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles and his teammate and safety Caleb Downs.

But as it turns out, some NFL draft rumors hint that the New York Giants could cause some problems for the Bengals, too.
According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, John Harbaugh and the Giants could be going hard after Downs and Styles: “In an ideal world, the Giants would like to move back a few spots, add more picks (they have just two in the top 100) and draft a player like Ohio State safety Caleb Downs. But that’s easier said than done.”
Those Giants hold the No. 5 pick and also really like Styles and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.
Those are all prospects the Bengals like.
The Bengals would love Styles to upgrade the unit featuring Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter. Downs would upgrade safety and perhaps nickel corner. The Bengals have even met with Love and have Chase Brown on an expiring contract and not much else behind him at running back.

None of this means the Bengals should panic and trade up. Not happening, anyway, given how the front office in Cincinnati operates.
But an old rival like John Harbaugh and his new team are very much a club to watch as the NFL draft unfolds soon.

India’s growing doping problem has come under fresh scrutiny, with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) flagging the steady rise in violations as a serious concern.
WADA president Witold Banka pointed to the easy availability of performance-enhancing drugs and steroids in India, while highlighting the scale of the challenge in controlling the issue.
With India topping the global doping charts for three consecutive years, the trend has raised concerns over the effectiveness of its anti-doping system and the overall integrity of its sporting ecosystem, especially with the country now holding the hosting rights of the 2030 Commonwealth Games.
India leads the unwanted list
India, for the past three years, i.e., 2022, 2023 and 2024, has been the worst performer in doping tests as it has topped the chart with the most doping cases on all three occasions.
According to WADA’s data, India recorded 125 positive doping cases in 2022, while the number rose to 213 in 2023 and to 260 in 2024. India not only has the highest number of doping cases, it is also the only country in the top five whose numbers are increasing.
Other countries in the top five, such as France, the United States, Russia and Italy, have all recorded a drop in doping cases in the past three years, unlike India.

Athletics leading the chart
In terms of sports-wise division of doping cases in India (in 2024), track and field athletes are leading the chart with 76 cases, while weightlifters are in second spot with 43 positive cases, followed by wrestlers with 29 cases.
Powerlifters and boxers are joint fourth with 17 cases each, while 10 kabaddi players were also found guilty of doping.

Doping prominent at national level
Despite the significant rise in doping cases in India, it is rare that any Olympic-level sportsperson has been found guilty of doping.
Dutee Chand (athletics), Aishwarya Babu (athletics), MV Jilna (athletics), Manju Bala (athletics), DP Manu (athletics), Karthik Kumar (athletics), Parvej Khan (athletics) and Nongmaithem Ratanbala Devi (football) are some of the few international-level athletes who tested positive for doping from 2022 to 2024.
Which means most of the cases of doping are coming at the national level, signifying the issue persists at the grassroots level.
Will doping cases affect India in upcoming events?
India is set to take part in two big multi-nation events this year in the form of the Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games. Despite the significant rise in the number of doping cases, India is unlikely to be overly concerned as most of its medal hopefuls have passed the tests.
However, among the banned athletes, Dutee Chand, who won the silver medal in the 2018 Asian Games, Karthik Kumar, who won silver in the 2022 Asian Games, and DP Manu, who finished fifth in the javelin throw event of the last Commonwealth Games, could have found their way to the podium, which means India could miss out on a few medals due to the doping hit.
Can India’s situation be compared with Russia?
Before India, a country that was associated as the worst among doping offenders was Russia, as in 2019 it was handed a four-year ban from bidding and participating in any Olympic-level events after it was found that the government was encouraging doping among players.
Although Russian athletes were later allowed to compete under a neutral flag after partial relief from the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the episode significantly dented the country’s sporting credibility.
With WADA now formally urging India to address its rising doping numbers, continued non-compliance or weak enforcement could weaken its case in future Olympic hosting, if it is subjected to any form of participation ban.
WADA calls for urgent systemic action
WADA president Witold Banka highlighted the scale of the challenge, pointing to the easy availability of performance-enhancing drugs and steroids in India, which complicates enforcement efforts.
He confirmed that discussions have been held with key stakeholders, including the sports ministry and the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), to strengthen coordination in identifying and dismantling doping networks.
Testing improves, but gaps remain
According to NADA Director General Anant Kumar, India has adopted a two-pronged strategy—expanding testing capacity and improving transparency to build trust among athletes.
Testing numbers have nearly doubled from around 4,000 samples in 2019 to approximately 8,000 in 2025. Despite this increase, India still lags behind major sporting nations such as China, which conducts more than 15,000 tests annually.
Banka noted that a rise in positive cases can sometimes reflect better detection and targeted enforcement. However, a decline without structural reforms could signal weak oversight rather than genuine progress.
Easy access and ecosystem failures driving violations
One of the biggest concerns flagged by WADA amid rising doping cases in India is the widespread availability of banned substances.
As one of the largest producers of pharmaceutical drugs, India faces unique regulatory challenges in controlling the distribution of performance-enhancing substances.
The issue extends beyond individual athletes. WADA’s intelligence and investigations wing has identified the role of suppliers, coaches, and support staff in facilitating doping practices, pointing to a deeper, systemic problem.
Officials have also indicated that in several cases, athletes may not be acting alone but are part of a broader ecosystem that enables or even encourages the use of banned substances.
