RCA member has made match-fixing allegations against RR
Member of the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) Jaideep Bihani has made match-fixing allegations against the Sanju Samson-led RR following their loss against LSG.
RCA member alleged that RR have kept them out of managing IPL 2025 matches
“The ad hoc committee has been appointed by the state government in Rajasthan. It has extended for a fifth time. We make sure all competitions take place without any issues. But then just as IPL came, the Zila Parishad (district council) took control of it. For IPL, the BCCI had first sent a letter to RCA only, not Zila Parishad. The excuse given by them and RR that we don’t have an MOU from Sawai Mansingh Stadium. If MOU is not there, so what? Aren’t you paying Zila Parishad for every match?” Bihani told News18 Rajasthan.
RR was previously banned from IPL for 2 years
