Rajasthan Royals & Chennai Super Kings were Suspended for matching fixing scandal for 2016 and 2017
The Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings were banned from the Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament for two years due to betting and a fixing scandal.
The supremely appointed Lodha Committee found out that officials from both teams, namely, Gurunath Meiyappan of CSK and Raj Kundra of RR, were involved in illegal betting activities during the 2013 IPL season. As a result, a two year suspension order for the guilty teams was issued.
This decision was taken by the law to ensure the integrity of the cricket tournament and clean up the sport from corruption.
What happened after the Suspension Ended?
After the suspension period ended, the Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings underwent changes in their team management and ownership structures to restore their reputation and ensure cleaner play. The process included the hiring of new officials and making changes in the management team for smoother adherence to rules set by the IPL governing body.
Conclusion
After the entire scandal happened, the duration of suspension ended, and the needed changes were made, both teams emerged to be even stronger from the IPL season of 2018 and have carried it on until now.
