Delhi: In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Digvesh Rathi, spinner of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has performed tremendously. He has caught the attention of many people from his game. But, due to his celebration style, he has also come into controversies many times.
His ‘Notebook Celebration’ has been in discussion. He was also given warning for this. In a match, when he dismissed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batsman Abhishek Sharma, he was enthusiastically celebrated. After this, he was also banned for a match.
Virender Sehwag gave important opinion
Former cricketer Virender Sehwag gave his opinion on this. He said that it was a little strict decision to ban Digvesh. Sehwag said, “This player is playing IPL for the first time. MS Dhoni also came on the field once arguing with the umpire, then he was not banned. Virat Kohli has also talked to the umpire several times in a fast tone, he too was not banned. So Digvesh could be given a chance.”
A few days after this incident, Digvesh again came into the limelight. This time he tried to run out Punjab Kings batsman Jitesh Sharma at non-strayer and. Later captain Rishabh Pant withdrew the appeal.
Non-Streaker and Run out
On this, a debate about ‘Spirit of Cricket’ started. The umpire called Jitesh not out and Pant’s sportsmanship was praised on social media.
Commentator Harsha Bhogle expressed displeasure over the debate. He wrote on X (first Twitter), “If the umpire felt that the batsman was in the crease, it is okay to give not out. But, it is wrong to talk about Spirit of Cricket again and again. Should play according to the rules.”
Digvesh Rathi’s game has been excellent, but everyone is watching his behavior. Now it has to be seen how they make balance in their passion and behavior.
