The past week in IPL 2026 has been overshadowed by multiple disciplinary controversies, with players, captains, and team staff coming under scrutiny. Ruturaj Gaikwad was fined for a slow over-rate, while Tristan Stubbs and Nitish Rana faced sanctions following on-field clashes with umpires. Adding to the turmoil, a dugout mobile phone violation involving a Rajasthan Royals team official has triggered anti-corruption concerns, prompting a stern warning from the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
