The 60th IPL 2023 between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RR vs RCB) was played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, where Sanju’s team suffered a humiliating defeat by 112 runs. However, a post-match video has surfaced, suggesting that Bangalore had fixed the match. This video is going viral.
RCB Won The Match By Fixing
This incident is of 4.2 overs. Michael Bracewell was bowling. He bowls to Devdutt Padikkal; Padikkal hits it over mid-wicket, and Siraj, stationed there, takes it inches above the turf. The catch looked controversial, after which the on-field umpire sent it to the third umpire for review.
Out or not-out?
What’s your take on Mohammed Siraj’s catch to dismiss Devdutt Padikkal?

The review saw it was close to hitting the floor, but the third umpire believed the fielder had enough fingers under the ball and was caught by Mohammed Siraj. Now there is a lot of ruckus about this. Some criticise the third umpire, while others accuse RCB of fixing it. You also watch this video and understand whether Padikkal was out or not out. However, we do not endorse fixing.

Rajasthan’s Batting Flopped
Significantly, in this match (RR vs RCB), captain Faf du Plessis decided to bat after winning the toss. Batting first, Bangalore scored 171 runs at the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Rajasthan got bundled out for 59 runs in 10.3 overs.
When Rajasthan started chasing the target of 172 runs, it got off to a bad start. Jaiswal Butler returned to the pavilion without opening an account. At the same time, Sanju contributed four, and Joe Root contributed 10 runs. After this, Hetmyer handled the innings in the middle by playing an inning of 35 runs, but after his dismissal, the whole team collapsed.
