Digvesh Rathi punished, handed one-match suspension
Lucknow Super Giants’ bowler Digvesh Rathi has been suspended for a match along with a 50 percent fine of his match fee for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during LSG’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Monday. Rathi has received the suspension and fine following his on-field altercation with SRH batter Abhishek Sharma.
The incident took place in the eighth over of the chase after Rathi dismissed Abhishek and celebrated the wicket in his usual notebook celebration. The celebration infuriated Sharma, leading to the on-field verbal altercation between both the players. The umpires had to intervene in order to pacify the situation.
“This was his third Level 1 offence under Article 2.5 this season and hence, he has accumulated Two Demerit Points, in addition to Three Demerit Points he had accumulated earlier – One Demerit Point against Punjab Kings on April 01, 2025 and Two Demerit Points against Mumbai Indians on April 04, 2025,” the statement from IPL read.
“As he now has Five Demerit Points this season – which result in a one-game suspension – Digvesh will now be suspended for LSG’s next game – against Gujarat Titans on May 22, 2025 in Ahmedabad. For Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct, the Match Referee’s decision is final and binding,” the statement read further.
SRH batter Abhisek Sharma was also fined 25 percent of his match fee.
