India, May 10 -- Lucknow Super Giants on Sunday found themselves in the middle of a social media controversy during the IPL 2026 clash against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium after a backroom staff member was allegedly seen violating a BCCI rule by using a mobile phone in the dugout.

The incident took place in the opening over of the match at the Chepauk on Sunday afternoon when one of the broadcast cameras briefly captured the individual during the replay clip of Josh Inglis' boundary off the fifth delivery bowled by Akeal Hossein. The visuals quickly went viral on social media, with several fans questioning whether the act amounted to a breach of the IPL's PMOA (Player and Match Officials Area) protocol.
