After the defeat of two reais races against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2025 last week, the Coordinator of the Ad-Hoc Committee of the Rajasthan Cricket Association had made accusations of setting parties. However, the BCCI has now denied the accusations. “The RCA is currently dissolved. An ad-hoc committee has formed, and with the elections approaching, there is a lot of drama. Everyone wants attention,” BCCI official told The Times of India.
“The BCCI has an anti -corruption unit that works 24 × 7 to keep the bad elements away from the game. There is no truth in these accusations,” added the official.

Previously, Rajasthan Royals had written a letter to the BCCI where they condemned the comments of the Ad-Hoc Committee of the RCA. “The statements made by the convener have no evidence and only serve to cause unnecessary controversy. Socen not only to the royal but also to Royal Multi Sport Private Limited (RMPL), the Rajasthan sports council, the BCCI and the Cricket game,” RR had written.
The Times of India also reported that the controversy may have exploded due to the reduced number of courtesy tickets for the RCA. Rajasthan Royals had reduced this number of 1800 tickets to 100-1200 tickets.
It is important to keep in mind that Rajasthan Royals, together with Chennai Super Kings, were expelled from the IPL for two years (in 2016 and 2017) due to their participation in the 2013 betting scandal. They were replaced by Rising Pune Supergiant and Gujarat Lions for 2016 and 2017, before the WO franchises returned from the 2018 season.
