Two games. Same scenario. Same heartbreak. But this time, fans aren't just disappointed—they're suspicious.
Rajasthan Royals, the OG champions of the IPL, are under fire after suffering back-to-back last-over defeats, both while needing just 9 runs to win. First, they blew it in a Super Over thriller. Then, against Lucknow Super Giants, it was deja vu—with a twist. Avesh Khan turned death-overs assassin, delivering pinpoint yorkers and sealing a shocking 2-run win for LSG.
But here’s where things get spicy: Jaideep Bihani, MLA and convenor of Rajasthan's cricket association, wasn’t having it. In an explosive claim, he said this wasn’t just poor gameplay—it could be match-fixing.
And he didn’t stop there.
Bihani raised eyebrows by revealing that the RCA ad hoc committee has zero control over how the Royals operate. Yep, a government-backed cricket body left completely out of the loop. He’s been vocal for weeks about the Royals' independence—but after this bizarre repeat performance? He’s turned up the heat.
“Two games in a row, same result, same margin... and no accountability?” fans cried out on social media. From confused memes to full-blown conspiracy theories, the internet is in flames .
It’s not just about runs anymore. It’s about control, transparency, and whether one of India’s most beloved IPL franchises has gone rogue. Bihani wants answers, and now—so does everyone else.
Sure, cricket’s full of surprises. But two identical heartbreaks in a row? It’s either the worst luck in IPL history… or the plot of a Netflix thriller waiting to happen.
As the Royals continue their campaign, one thing’s for sure: every final over from now on will be watched like a hawk.
Because in IPL 2025, the drama isn’t just on the pitch—it’s in the shadows.
