In a dramatic escalation, Bihani even hinted at possible match tampering, triggering a strong backlash from the franchise.

In response, Rajasthan Royals (RR) have filed a formal complaint with the Chief Minister, Sports Minister, and Sports Secretary of the state, calling for stringent action against Bihani. Senior RR official Deep Roy categorically dismissed the claims as "false, baseless, and without any evidence," expressing serious concern over the damage such statements could cause to the team바카라�s reputation.

바카라�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,바카라� the franchise was quoted by IANS as saying.

Bihani had earlier alleged a conspiracy involving RR, the Rajasthan Sports Council, and the BCCI to marginalise the RCA바카라�s ad hoc committee from IPL operations in Jaipur. He accused the Sports Council of deliberately sidelining the committee and withholding accreditation passes for RCA officials for matches held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

However, RR emphasised that they are operating in full compliance with BCCI regulations and in collaboration with the Rajasthan Sports Council, which holds the official hosting rights for IPL 2025 matches in Jaipur. The franchise reiterated its 18-year-long partnership with the state government and asserted that all operations are being conducted transparently under government guidance.

While Bihani claimed that the RCA had previously hosted major ICC and BCCI events successfully, the Royals바카라� camp has firmly rubbished any suggestion of wrongdoing and stood by the current hosting framework put in place by the BCCI and state authorities.
