Ex-IPL Chairman Lalit Modi slammed the BCCI after RR manager Romi Bhinder was fined ₹1 lakh for using a mobile phone in the dugout during an IPL 2026 match. "Why only a fine? Should be banned- zero tolerance is the only mantra," he said. Modi added, "This shows BCCI...isn't ready to be a zero tolerance administration. [It's] always protecting someone."
