The incident took place during a rain interruption, with the player being filmed nonchalantly using his phone close to the dugout. Although there was no initial explanation from the team or the IPL authorities, the images immediately created controversies online.

 

Other fans asked if this action contravened the league's anti-corruption rules, which tightly control the use of electronic devices throughout games to avert any sort of communication that would compromise the integrity of the game. Others said that because play had stopped, the incident may be handled with kindness. With the talks still heating up, everyone is now waiting for the IPL governing body to determine whether any official statement or action will be made in reaction to the viral moment.
