Tensions rise as Rajasthan Royals reject allegations of match tampering and collusion made by RCA ad hoc committee convener Jaydeep Bihani following a narrow IPL 2025 loss.

Rajasthan Royals refute match-fixing allegations by RCA's Jaydeep Bihani

Tensions rise as Rajasthan Royals reject allegations of match tampering and collusion made by RCA ad hoc committee convener Jaydeep Bihani following a narrow IPL 2025 loss.

A fresh controversy has erupted between the Rajasthan Royals and the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) following comments made by Jaydeep Bihani, convener of the RCA's ad hoc committee, in the aftermath of the Royals' narrow 2-run defeat to the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2025.&nbsp;
Bihani cast doubt on the legitimacy of the result, even implying the possibility of match tampering.
Reacting strongly to the allegations, the Rajasthan Royals have lodged a formal complaint with the Chief Minister, Sports Minister, and Sports Secretary, urging them to take appropriate action against Bihani.
Deep Roy, a senior official with the franchise, firmly denied the accusations, calling them &ldquo;false, baseless, and without any evidence.&rdquo;
Bihani&rsquo;s statement did not just question the outcome of the match&mdash;it went further, accusing the Rajasthan Royals, Rajasthan Sports Council, and the BCCI of working together to exclude the RCA&rsquo;s ad hoc committee from all IPL-related matters.
The Royals management responded with a firm rebuttal: &ldquo;We reject all allegations made by the convener of the ad hoc committee. Such public statements are not only misleading but have caused serious damage to the reputation and credibility of Rajasthan Royals, Royal Multi Sport Private Limited (RMPL), the Rajasthan Sports Council, and the BCCI. They also tarnish the integrity of cricket.&rdquo;
The franchise highlighted its long-standing association with both the state government and the cricketing authorities, pointing to nearly two decades of collaboration. They reaffirmed that all operations are in line with BCCI protocols, under which the Rajasthan Sports Council currently holds the rights to host IPL matches in Jaipur.
According to the Royals, the tournament is being managed in coordination with the Council and the BCCI, under the state government's oversight, to ensure its smooth execution. Meanwhile, Bihani emphasized that the RCA has a history of successfully hosting ICC-BCCI international fixtures in the state.
However, he accused the Sports Council of undermining the RCA&rsquo;s role, stating that &ldquo;The State Sports Council kept the RCA ad hoc committee away from organising the IPL. They did not even make accreditation cards for the members related to the event,&rdquo; and alleged that &ldquo;the Sports Council is conspiring against sports interests by keeping the ad hoc committee formed by the government away from the IPL match being held in Jaipur.&rdquo;

Sanju Samson's injury sidelines him for the IPL 2025 match against RCB. Riyan Parag takes charge, with Vaibhav Suryavanshi opening. RR monitors his recovery closely as they navigate the tournament.

Sanju Samson Injury: RR vs RCB Update

Rajasthan Royals' captain, Sanju Samson, will miss the IPL 2025 match against RCB due to a side strain injury. Riyan Parag will lead the team, while Vaibhav Suryavanshi opens alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. RR monitors Samson's progress closely.

Captain down! Rajasthan Royals face RCB without Sanju Samson

Rajasthan Royals' captain Sanju Samson will miss the IPL 2025 clash against RCB due to injury. Riyan Parag steps in as captain, while Vaibhav Suryavanshi continues at the top order. RR monitors Samson's recovery closely.

Rajasthan Royals' captain Sanju Samson is set to miss the upcoming IPL 2025 match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru due to a side strain injury. The franchise announced that Samson will remain in Jaipur for recovery, under the supervision of select RR medical staff, and will not be traveling to Bengaluru.
The injury was sustained during a match against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where Samson retired hurt after scoring a brisk 31 off 19 balls. RR eventually lost that contest in a nail-biting Super Over.
A statement from the franchise on Monday stated that team management is closely monitoring Samson's progress and will decide on his participation on a game-by-game basis. As a result, Riyan Parag, who has captained the team in Samson's absence for four games, will lead the side against Rajat Patidar's RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday.
With Samson unavailable, the left-handed batter Vaibhav Suryavanshi will continue to open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal. Suryavanshi, who made history as the youngest player to feature in the tournament at age 14, played during RR's narrow two-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Sanju Samson, presently the second-highest run-getter for RR in IPL 2025, has accumulated 224 runs in seven innings with an impressive average of 37.33. He, along with Riyan Parag and the team's top scorer Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has amassed 307 runs in eight innings, are the only three RR batters to have crossed the 200-run mark this season.
Currently, Rajasthan Royals, the inaugural IPL champions of 2008, find themselves in eighth position on the IPL 2025 points table, with four points. They hold a slight advantage over Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad due to a better net run rate.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 13-year-old cricket prodigy from Bihar,  made history as the youngest IPL player ever. From humble beginnings, he rose through the ranks with stellar performances in youth cricket.

Meet Vaibhav Suryavanshi – the youngest IPL player ever

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, a 13-year-old cricket prodigy from Bihar, &nbsp;made history as the youngest IPL player ever. From humble beginnings, he rose through the ranks with stellar performances in youth cricket.

A Small-Town Boy with Big Dreams
Hailing from the small village of Tajpur in Bihar, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is fast emerging as one of India&rsquo;s most promising cricketing talents.
Born on March 27, 2011, his journey from playing in his backyard to donning the Rajasthan Royals jersey in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is nothing short of a dream come true.
His father, Sanjeev, a farmer by profession, noticed his son&rsquo;s passion for cricket early on.
To support his child&rsquo;s dream, Sanjeev sold his farmland in Motipur to fund his cricket training. At the age of 9, Vaibhav was enrolled in a cricket academy in Samastipur, setting the foundation for his future.
<h3>Making History in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction</h3>
The world took notice of Vaibhav when he became the youngest cricketer ever shortlisted for an IPL auction in 2025. His raw talent and power-hitting ability caught the eye of the Rajasthan Royals, who called him for trials in Nagpur ahead of the auction.
Vaibhav didn&rsquo;t disappoint&mdash;during his practice match, he smashed eight sixes and four boundaries, impressing all.&nbsp;
This set the stage for a bidding war between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals, with the Royals eventually securing the young left-hander for a staggering INR 1.1 crore (Rs 11 million).
<h3>Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson backs Vaibhav</h3>
Ahead of IPL 2025, Rajasthan Royals skipper Sanju Samson heaped praises on the young batter.
"Vaibhav looks very confident; he was hitting sixes out of the ground at the academy. People were already talking about his power-hitting. What else can you ask for? It is all about understanding his strengths, backing him, and being there for him like an elder brother," Samson said when asked about Vaibhav&rsquo;s training session ahead of the IPL 2025 season.&nbsp;
He further added, "The key is to keep him in the best shape and provide a relaxed environment. Rajasthan Royals ensures a positive atmosphere in the dressing room and backs its players. You never know&mdash;he might end up playing for India in a couple of years."

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>A Rapid Rise Through the Ranks</h3>
Vaibhav&rsquo;s rise in the short period has been extraordinary. At just 12 years old, he played in the Vinoo Mankad Trophy, where he scored around 400 runs in five matches.
His performances earned him a spot in the India B U-19 squad for the Under-19 quadrangular series in November 2023, which featured India A, Bangladesh, and England.
While he didn&rsquo;t make the final squad for the ICC U-19 World Cup 2024, he bounced back by impressing Bihar selectors at a U-23 selection camp.
His performances led to a historic Ranji Trophy debut for Bihar against Mumbai in January 2024, making him the youngest Indian first-class debutant since 1986 at just 12 years and 284 days.
<h3>Raising the Bar at the International Stage</h3>
Vaibhav&rsquo;s potential further strengthened when he made his India U-19 debut in a youth Test against Australia in Chennai in September 2024. He smashed a 62-ball 104 in the match.
His ton was the fastest by an Indian in youth Tests and the second-fastest globally. He took only 58 balls to smash the hundred.
Later that year, Vaibhav played a crucial role in India's run to the final at the U-19 Asia Cup 2024 in the UAE.
He finished as the team&rsquo;s second-highest scorer, with two crucial half-centuries: one came in a must-win group stage match against the hosts and another was a match-winning knock in the semi-finals against Sri Lanka.
<h3>The Youngest to Play List A Cricket</h3>
Vaibhav&rsquo;s did not stop there and kept upping the ante at the crucial stages of the various tournaments.
He created another record when he became the youngest Indian to play List A cricket, making his debut for Bihar in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 against Madhya Pradesh at 13 years and 269 days old.
A fortnight later, he became the youngest Indian to score a fifty in List A cricket, smashing 71 off 42 balls against Baroda.
As IPL 2025 knocks at the door, all eyes will be on Vaibhav Suryavanshi as he prepares to shine on one of cricket's biggest stages.
The big question now is whether Rajasthan Royals will give him a spot in their playing XI or not? We&rsquo;ll find out soon!

Indian cricketer Sanju Samson has fractured his right index finger after being struck by a delivery from Jofra Archer in the 5th T20I against England. He will be sidelined for over a month, missing the upcoming Ranji Trophy quarterfinals for Kerala.

Sanju Samson sidelined for 5-6 weeks due to index finger fracture

Indian cricketer Sanju Samson has fractured his right index finger after being struck by a delivery from Jofra Archer in the 5th T20I against England. He will be sidelined for over a month, missing the upcoming Ranji Trophy quarterfinals for Kerala.

Sanju Samson, the star wicketkeeper-batter, fractured his index finger after being struck by a fiery delivery from Jofra Archer during the fifth T20 International against England in Mumbai.&nbsp;
As a result, he will be sidelined for over a month, missing the upcoming Ranji Trophy quarterfinals.
Reports suggest that Samson has returned to his hometown, Thiruvananthapuram, where he will begin rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He will only resume training once he receives clearance from the NCA.&nbsp;
"Samson has fractured his right index finger. It will take him five to six weeks before he can resume proper nets. So there is no chance of him playing the Ranji Trophy quarter-final for Kerala (vs J&amp;K) in Pune from February 8-12," a BCCI source shared with PTI on condition of anonymity.
The source further added, "In all likelihood, his comeback will happen in the IPL for Rajasthan Royals."
Samson, who struggled during the series against England, was hit by Archer&rsquo;s delivery at nearly 150 km/h. While he managed a six and a four afterward, the swelling on his finger worsened once he returned to the dugout, and scans later confirmed the fracture.&nbsp;
Samson&rsquo;s poor performance against England followed a strong run against Bangladesh and South Africa, where he scored three centuries in seven games. Despite this, he was not selected for the Champions Trophy due to his absence in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
During the England series, the flamboyant Rajasthan Royals captain could only manage 51 runs in five games, with his highest score being 26 in the opening match at Eden Gardens. He struggled with deliveries from Archer, Mark Wood, and Saqib Mahmood and was dismissed early in most games.
With India not scheduled for any white-ball assignments after the Champions Trophy until late July, the 30-year-old Samson may have to wait until the away series against Bangladesh in August for his next opportunity.

The equation boiled down to 13 required off the last 2 overs but Rovman Powell kept his cool and took Rajasthan over the finish line with an over to spare.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's dream to end their IPL title drought came crashing down as the Rajasthan Royals beat them by 4 wickets in the IPL 2024 Eliminator in Ahmedabad. While RCB's dream run ended after winning 6 consecutive games, RR will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 on Friday.
Things didn't start off well for RCB as Faf du Plessis lost the toss and they were asked to bat first. Bengaluru tried to keep up with their aggressive approach but it didn't work out this time around.
Faf and Virat Kohli both couldn't score big and wickets at regular intervals reduced RCB to 122/5. Mahipal Lomror and Rajat Patidar though helped their side finish at 172/8.

A couple of games ago, the Rajasthan Royals were almost guaranteed of a top-2 finish in the IPL 2024 points table but a defeat by 5 wickets against the Punjab Kings on Wednesday, has made it very tough.

Watch: Rajasthan Royals' Avesh Khan highlights areas that team needs to work on | IPL

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Khan was glad that the team has been bowling well in the tournament.&nbsp;

Rajasthan Royals are nearly invincible, having come up against almost all teams at least once, the table-toppers have endured a solitary loss so far in the tournament.&nbsp; But that has not stopped the Royals' players from being self-critical. After skipper Sanju Samson reiterated sticking to the processes as mistakes tend to happen in T20 cricket, bowler Avesh Khan was also all-praise for his team but with a lesson in learning as well.&nbsp; Speaking at the post-match press conference, Khan was glad that the team has been bowling well as he highlighted how Trent Boult has been scalping wickets in the early overs and how Sandeep Sharma's has improved post-injury.&nbsp; But in the same breath he did not fail to point out the inconsistencies in Rajasthan's bowling during the middle overs, a point also brought up by Samson after the match.&nbsp; 'In slog overs too, we are putting up a good show but we feel we are still lacking in 6-16 over phase and that we can do better as a bowling unit during those overs. Whenever we have a team meeting, we will surely discuss it,' Khan told reporters.&nbsp; When asked about the big scoring games this season, Khan remarked, 'When one looks for excuses, your point of view is different. But when you back yourself, you see things differently. I admit that runs have been leaking in excess but as a bowler if you are confident and try to execute your skills, it is okay if you are hit for a six or a boundary on a good delivery.'&nbsp; He went on to add, 'I know that wickets are flatter, the impact player rule is in place and boundaries are also smaller but as a bowler if you back yourself, you will be successful because IPL is such a platform where you cannot perform well in all 14 games (of league stages), you are going to get smacked in 4-5 games. So, it is better to accept it and give it your 100% then results will be in your favour even more.'&nbsp;

Rajasthan Royals extended its lead at the top of the points table by 6 points more than the second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders.

IPL 2024: Samson, Jurel boss run-chase as table-toppers RR march to victory against LSG

Rajasthan Royals extended its lead at the top of the points table by 6 points more than the second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders.

Rajasthan Royals continued their winning run as skipper Sanju Samson led RR to a 7-wicket victory against Lucknow Super Giants in match 44 of IPL 2024.
After losing the toss and being invited to bat first, Rahul and Hooda gave LSG a solid footing with a 62-ball 115-run stand for the third wicket after early blows.&nbsp;
Rahul&rsquo;s 48-ball 76 with eight fours and two sixes was his fourth fifty of the season while Hooda banished his poor string of scores to make his first big score this IPL.
Ashwin applied the breaks on LSG&rsquo;s progress and ended his drought of wickets in this IPL, picking up only his second wicket to have Hooda caught at wide long-on by Rovman Powell.
The skewed boundary lengths at Ekana came into play when Sandeep surprised Nicholas Pooran (11) with a short ball that climbed on the batter, and the top edge flew straight into the hands of a waiting Boult at the deep backward square leg and in the end, LSG managed to set a target of 197 runs.
Coming to the RR chase, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal made full use of the powerplay overs and the visitors posted 60 runs with Jos Buttler losing his wicket in the 6th over.
Yashasvi Jaiswal quickly followed Buttler and Amit Mishra dismissed the in-form Riyan Parag to bring LSG back into the match but Skipper Sanju Samson played a captain knock of 71 and was well supported by Dhruv Jurel, who bit under the pump before this game for his string of low scores as the duo added 121 runs for the 4th wicket to take Rajasthan Royals over the line with one over remaining and with this victory,
Rajasthan Royals extended its lead at the top of the points table by 6 points more than the second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders.
