After Rajasthan Royals suffered a close two-run defeat at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants an IPL 2025 match held in Jaipur, the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) ad hoc committee convener Jaideep Bihani has cast aspersions over the result with claims of match-fixing.

As per News18 Rajasthan, Bihani claimed that even a kid would claim after watching the last over of the match that it was fixed.

Chasing 181 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium (SMS) on Sunday, RR needed 9 runs off the final over with six wickets remaining. However, LSG fast bowler Avesh Khan allowed just six runs in it to condemn the former IPL champions to their sixth defeat of the ongoing season.

Bihani also slammed the district council for taking over the management of IPL matches.

“Rajasthan government appointed ad-hoc committee in the RCA. And after reviewing the work it has done, it was given an extension for the fifth time. During our tenure, we have organised several competitions from the district to the national level. However, the moment it was time for IPL, the district council took control of it. BCCI had first written a letter for the organisation of IPL to RCA. The district council gave an excuse that RCA doesn’t have an MoU with the SMS stadium. So what if we don’t have an MOU? Aren’t you also paying the district council for each game?" Bihani said.

RR are enduring a difficult season with injury to captain Sanju Samson being the latest setback. Due to a side strain, the wicketkeeper-batter is set to miss their next IPL match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

“Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson is currently undergoing recovery and will remain at the team’s home base with select RR medical staff. As part of his ongoing rehab process, he will not be travelling to Bangalore for the upcoming match against RCB," RR said in a statement.

“The team management is monitoring his progress closely and will take a game-by-game approach regarding his return to action," it added.

RR are currently eighth in the IPL 2025 standings.
