Rajasthan Royals are seeking an indemnity waiver from the Rajasthan government to host IPL matches in Jaipur due to safety concerns raised about the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Rahane and a few Rajatshan Royals players, who had come for training found the SMS gates locked by the sports council employees for close to half an hour before they could enter after the intervention from franchise officials.
Uncertainty looms large over the city's chances of hosting this edition's IPL matches as the MoU between Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) and Rajasthan State Sports council (RSSC), which had expired last year, is yet to be renewed.
The decks were finally cleared for the Rajasthan Cricket Association to host the home matches of Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur in the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League after it decided to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the state government regarding the use of Sawai Man Singh Stadium.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje was at the centre of a fresh controversy over reports suggesting that she had recommended former Indian Premier League chief Lalit Modi for a Padma award in 2007.
