Digvesh Rathi challenges BCCI, does ‘notebook’ celebration vs MI despite being punished

Lucknow Super Giants spinner Digvesh Rathi has looked in superb touch with the ball in the ongoing game against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is hosting the game between the teams.

Digvesh Rathi brought Lucknow Super Giants back into the game after Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir were batting superbly. The duo were putting pressure on the Rishabh Pant-led side with their partnership, and it seemed that they would take the game away from the hosts.

But Digvesh Rathi came up with the magical delivery to provide his team with the crucial breakthrough of Naman Dhir. The mystery spinner removed the batter on the first ball of the 9th over to give a sigh of relief to the Lucknow Super Giants fans.

Digvesh Rathi pushed a delivery through outside off on a good length, to which Naman Dhir tried to flick too square. He missed the ball as it went on to hit the off-stumps. The batter also got a slight inside edge before the ball crashed into the stumps.

After taking the wicket, Digvesh Rathi came up with his trademark celebration, which he has been doing in the ongoing IPL 2025. He came up with the notebook celebration, for which he faced a fine by the BCCI in the last game against the Punjab Kings.
