In the IPL 2025 auction, a scene was seen between the owners of RCB and Mumbai Indians which surprised everyone. In fact, as soon as Mumbai Indians bought Will Jacques, Akash Ambani stood up from his seat and reached out to shake hands with the RCB owner. This is the first time such a scene has been seen after buying a player in the IPL auction. The question is why did Akash Ambani do this? Was there already a deal between RCB and Mumbai Indians?
What happened during Will Jax’s bid?
When Will Jacques’ name came up in the IPL auction, Mumbai Indians were the first to bid on this player. After this, Punjab also showed interest in buying Will Jacques. The matter went up to Rs 5.25 crore between the two teams and in the end Mumbai won. After this, RCB was asked whether it would use RTM for Will Jacques. RCB refused this. As soon as RCB took this decision, Mumbai owner Akash Ambani got up from his seat and went to the RCB table and shook hands with its owner. Since then, fans have been making serious allegations of fixing on both the teams. Fans believe that there was a deal between the two teams regarding this player.
BIGGEST MOMENT OF THE DAY.

Mumbai player also joined RCB
If Will Jacques has come to the Mumbai team, then one of his former players has also gone to RCB. RCB has bought Tim David for a price of Rs 3 crore. Earlier, Tim David was an important part of Mumbai team. This is the reason why fans are using words like fixing.
