The details of the press conference hasn't been announced and also the post doesn't reveal the date, but a report from InsideSports revealed that the presser will take place on June 2. Looking at what Raj Kundra plans to reveal, it can cause huge trouble to Rajasthan Royals and damp their reputation.
Rajasthan Royals have a long time of landing into hot waters time and time again as they also served a ban from 2016-2017, when the club was accused of match-fixing and owner Raj Kundra was barred from getting into cricket related activities, which led to him selling his stakes in the club. Royals Group's Raj Kundra was found guilty of engaging in betting practices and handed a similar punishment, as the one Meiyappan received by Justice Lodha.
Further, Rajasthan Royals were also under the scanner because of spot-fixing charges in 2013 that led to the end of the careers of Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan.
