On Monday, May 19, during Match 61 of the IPL 2025 between the Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad, Digvesh Rathi and Abhishek Sharma got into a heated argument after the mystery spinner removed the top-order batsman.
Digvesh’s usual ‘notebook celebration’ after dismissing Abhishek with a googly triggered the altercation in the eighth over of the run-chase. Digvesh unleashed his violent jubilation as soon as Shardul Thakur finished the catch in the deep.
Abhishek approached the bowler, annoyed by his antics, but the players and officials on the pitch stepped in to defuse the situation.

Abhishek Sharma was SRH’s second wicket to fall and was dismissed soon after notching up an 18-ball fifty.
He registered 59 (20), with his blistering knock comprising four fours and six sixes. Rathi had struck in his second over, his figures reading a miserly 1/11 in two overs up until the completion of the over in which he snagged Abhishek.
Earlier in the evening, SRH won the toss and invited LSG to bat first. Mitchell Marsh (65 off 39) and Aiden Markram (61 off 38) added 115 for the opening wicket. LSG skipper Rishabh Pant’s dismal run continued. The wicketkeeper-batter scored only seven runs off six balls. Nicholas Pooran’s 45 (26) helped the hosts get to a sizeable score. Eshan Malinga (2/28 in four overs) was the pick of the bowlers for SRH. He bowled a total of 10 dot deliveries during his spell.
