RCB vs RR: The umpire suddenly stopped the match..!? Why?

The match between rajasthan Royals and royal challengers Bangalore in the 2025 IPL series was held in Jaipur. During this match, when rajasthan player shimron hetmyer and Bangalore team player Phil salt came out to bat, the umpire stopped the match for a while and checked them. This caused a stir in the match for a while. Why did the umpire do this? What did they do wrong? The fans were confused. According to the rules of the international cricket Council, there is a specific rule for how big the bat should be. There is also a measuring device. If the umpire has doubts, he can use that device to measure the bat of a batsman at any time during the match. If the bat is out of size, the punishment will be as per the rules of international matches and domestic cricket series. In general, there is no separate punishment for this in the IPL.
 However, on-field umpires shimron hetmyer and Philip salt took the bat and measured it. Their bats went into the device. After this, the umpire allowed them to continue batting. Recently, when such a test was conducted in the england domestic county test series, Essex player Feroz Khushi's bat was out of size. It is noteworthy that according to the rules of that series, the team was penalized by 12 points.
