IPL 2026 season has seen high excitement with close matches.
Arun Dhumal, IPL Governing Council Chairman, clarified that no 'honey-trapping' incidents occurred in IPL 2026, contrary to concerns raised by BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia. Saikia had warned franchises about protocol breaches and misconduct, citing potential reputational harm and legal liabilities. However, Dhumal stated that the only notable incident was Riyan Parag's vaping, which he believed could have been avoided. Dhumal praised the 2026 IPL season as 'phenomenal' due to its competitive matches. The clarification came after Saikia's comments sparked speculation and harassment of cricketers' partners on social media.
Dhumal emphasized that the tournament has been 'very clean' with no such incidents. He attributed the season's success to its unpredictability, with the fourth qualifying team undecided until the league stage's last day.
