Rajasthan Royals mum on the matter: The silence is not only limited to the corridors of BCCI. Even the franchise is mum on the matter. “We don’t want to give any comment on this,” said a top official from the Rajasthan franchise.

Despite the silence from the main party, it is evident that the episode did take place. Else, a player like Ross Taylor would not have made such a reveal. Now, the question remains, who slapped Taylor. It is important to mention that the slapgate happened in a party, which was a norm in the initial years of the league.

Owners Raj Kundra and Shilpa Shetty were seen accompanying the team during the 2011 edition, and fingers are pointing at either of them having slapped Taylor.
