IPL protocols around electronic devices are extremely strict. That’s why fans immediately started questioning whether rules had been violated during the game.

Social media exploded with theories. Screenshots were shared everywhere. Some fans even jumped to extreme conclusions, questioning whether something suspicious was happening behind the scenes.

WHY THE REACTION WAS SO INTENSE

Earlier this season, another IPL official had already been fined for using a phone inside the dugout area. Because of that previous controversy, fans were already highly sensitive to anything similar.
