In the wake of Rajasthan Royals (RR) being accused of match-fixing in IPL 2025 by Rajasthan Cricket Association's (RCA) ad-hoc committee convener Jaydeep Bihani, former Pakistan cricketer Tanvir Ahmed has put forward an accusation that most IPL teams are controlled by match-fixers. Tanvir, who represented Pakistan eight times in international cricket, said that while IPL is the biggest league in the world, it also experiences the most instances of match-fixing. However, angry fans have criticised Tanvir's view, with some going as far as labelling him a "clown".

"What Franchises Might Have Wanted From Curators...": Rahul Dravid On No Home Advantage In IPL 2025

Rajasthan Royals head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday cited cases of players joining new franchises and consequent lack of familiarity with the conditions as a plausible reason for teams complaining about the lack of home advantage in this IPL. Several teams such as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders had expressed unhappiness about the nature of pitches at their respective home venues.

Under Pressure Rahul Dravid Delivers Brutal "No Options" Message To Rajasthan Royals

Head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday acknowledged that Rajasthan Royals cannot afford another slip-up after sliding to eighth on the IPL points table and his team has "no option" other than start "winning games quickly." The Royals will come up against an in-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Thursday, and another reversal will make it really tough for them to nourish play-off aspirations. "It's a very important game for us, in fact, every game from here on in, as the position we find ourselves in, we can't afford to make many mistakes. This stage is a tournament… just over half way, we find ourselves at the bottom half of the table," Dravid said in the pre-match press conference.

RR Feeling Jos Buttler's Absence, KKR Under-Utilising Andre Russell: Anil Kumble

Legendary Anil Kumble reckons Rajasthan Royals' decision to not retain Jos Buttler and Kolkata Knight Riders' improper utilisation of Andre Russell are factors that have contributed significantly to the struggles of the former IPL winners thus far. Having played eight matches each so far, the defending champions KKR have lost five while the Royals have endured defeats in six. In a select media interaction on Wednesday, JioStar expert Kumble said, "Jos Buttler is someone who sort of was the key player for Rajasthan Royals for a while. He was instrumental in single-handedly doing damage to the opposition."

IPL 2025: RCB Eye Home Improvement Against Struggling Rajasthan Royals

Struggling to find form in their own den, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to regain control of their IPL campaign at home when they meet a floundering Rajasthan Royals on Thursday. RCB's three defeats at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in as many matches offer one of the biggest paradoxes of this edition. An outfit that has steam-rolled opposition in all parts of the country has been left chasing shadows in their own backyard. The RCB batters have appeared strangely subdued and their bowlers seem to have forgotten the lengths to adopt here.

Reason Behind Rajasthan Royals Match-Fixing Allegations, Report Reveals 'Ticket Demands' Twist

Rajasthan Royals (RR) hit back with a strongly-worded letter following allegations of match-fixing made by Rajasthan Cricket Association's (RCA) ad-hoc committee convener Jaydeep Bihani. Following RR's narrow defeats against Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants - both of which happened despite the team being in a position to cruise to victory - RR have now been accused of match-fixing. While the franchise has categorically objected to any accusation, a recent report has stated that the chief motive behind the RCA's comments may be ticket sales.

Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals Poorest In Catching Efficiency

Catching efficiency has emerged as one of the key talking points in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), with Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals being the biggest culprits. The teams who are sitting ducks at the bottom of the table are the ones who have struggled to get hold of the catches that have come their way. The beleaguered CSK, who are languishing at the bottom of the table, have an abysmally low 64.3 per cent catching efficiency in IPL 2025.

"In Pakistan, People Would've Said...': Rajasthan Royals' 14-Year-Old Star Receives Big Verdict

Rajasthan Royals' 14-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi has impressed everyone with his performance in the IPL 2025. Suryavanshi slammed 34 off 20 deliveries against Lucknow Super Giants that included a brilliant six off Avesh Khan. It was an almost perfect start to his IPL career as he provided RR the perfect start and he has already received a lot of praise from both fans as well as experts. Former Pakistan cricket team star Basit Ali gave a mammoth verdict on Suryavanshi and said that he should receive support from the system and commented on the problems he would have faced in Pakistan.
