IPL 2025 Match Fixing: Rajasthan Royals lost to Lucknow Super Giants in an exciting match of IPL 2025. The dispute has started again. After the defeat of Rajasthan Royals, allegations of match fixing have started coming up. Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) ad hoc committee convenor Jaideep Bihani said that something went wrong in this match.
Allegations of match fixing on Rajasthan Royals’ defeat
Talking about the match, Rajasthan had a target of 181 runs and he needed only 9 runs to win in the last over, while he had 6 wickets left. But Lucknow bowler Avesh Khan bowled brilliantly and Rajasthan lost by 2 runs. Only after this defeat, questions are being raised on the Rajasthan team.
Jaideep Bihani doubted the defeat of the team
Jaideep Bihani has raised doubts on this defeat and questioned how the team lost on its own home ground? He reminded that in early 2013 some players from Rajasthan were involved in spot fixing and the history of the team has been somewhat controversial.
Earlier, Raj Kundra was also accused of betting.
Apart from this, Jaideep Bihani also alleged that the franchise owner Raj Kundra had been involved in the betting case earlier and due to this the team had to face a two -year ban.
This time too, he has demanded from the BCCI that the matter should be investigated. Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals were banned for two sessions in 2016 and 2017, when franchise owner Raj Kundra was caught betting.
Stadium management was also questioned.
In the interview, Bihani also raised the issue of keeping the Rajasthan Cricket Association away from the IPL event. He said that RCA was appointed as ad hoc committee by the state government and during this time cricket competitions were held successfully at all levels, but the Rajasthan Sports Council took control of the stadium at the time of the IPL event.
Talking further on the matter, Bihani further said, ‘BCCI had earlier sent a letter to the RCA for the IPL but the Sports Council and Rajasthan Royals made an excuse that we do not have an MoU for Sawai Mansingh Stadium. What would happen if there is no MoU? Do you not give money to the Sports Council for every match? The controversy has increased with this statement of Bihani.
The match went to the super over.
This is not the first time that Rajasthan Royals have come so close and lost the match. Earlier, the team also needed 9 runs in the last over against Delhi Capitals (DC) and had 7 wickets left. But that match also went to the super over and Rajasthan had to face defeat. After the fourth consecutive defeat, Rajasthan Royals are now eighth in the IPL 2025 points table, where it has only 2 wins and 4 points in 8 matches.
