Overview

  • Rajasthan Royals have formally complained to the Rajasthan Chief Minister and sports authorities, seeking action against RCA ad hoc committee convenor Jaideep Bihani over match-fixing allegations.
  • Bihani alleged foul play in the Royals' narrow two-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants, but both the franchise and a BCCI official have rejected the claims as false and unsupported by evidence.
  • The BCCI emphasized its 24x7 anti-corruption monitoring system, underscoring that there is no basis for the allegations.
  • Reports suggest the conflict may stem from the RCA receiving fewer complimentary tickets for IPL matches this season, reduced from approximately 1,800 to 1,000–1,200 per game.
  • The RCA ad hoc committee, sidelined from IPL operations in Jaipur, continues to push for greater involvement and an independent investigation into the allegations.
