Who will conduct IPL matches in Jaipur amid crisis in RCA?

The recent turmoil in the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) has left fans wondering who will conduct the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches in Jaipur. The resignation of Vaibhav Gehlot, son of former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, from the post of RCA President has added to the uncertainty.

Jaipur was scheduled to host three IPL matches for the Rajasthan Royals in March and April. The future of these matches now depends on the decision of the investigation officer regarding the formation of an ad-hoc committee or continuation of the existing committee.

Former RCA Treasurer, Pinkesh Porwal, highlighted the political dynamics within the association, pointing out the mistreatment of veteran leader Rameshwar Dudi and the recent no-confidence motion against Vaibhav Gehlot. The RCA President’s resignation has led to a vacant post, sparking further debate within the association.

In his resignation letter, Vaibhav Gehlot expressed concern about the situation created by the change in government and actions taken against the RCA. He emphasized the need to protect cricket in the state and players during the IPL matches, leading to his voluntary resignation.

Meanwhile, Ashok Gehlot criticized the Sports Council’s actions against the RCA, suggesting political malice behind the sealing of the Sawai Man Singh Stadium and RCA office. The ongoing issues have raised questions about the future of cricket administration in Rajasthan, particularly with IPL matches on the horizon.
