A entertaining exchange between Digvesh and Ankit. (Screengrab)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Remember Digvesh Rathi? The bowler whose notebook celebration drew BCCI\u2019s ire during IPL 2025 resulting in multiple fines and then a suspension for confronting Abhishek Sharma?<\/p>\n

He\u2019s in the news again and this time, for his mind games backfiring during a Delhi Premier League match recently. After gaining fame through his on-field performances and antics in maiden IPL season, Rathi became one of the high-profile players in the ongoing second season of DPL.<\/p>\n

Representing Delhi Superstarz, Rathi launched a verbal volley at West Delhi Lions opener Ankit Kumar. The batter didn\u2019t back down and responded with back-to-back sixes.<\/p>\n

So what triggered the drama?<\/p>\n

Well, in the fifth over of West Delhi Lions innings, Rathi pulled out of his delivery stride at the last moment, presumably to upset the Ankit\u2019s rhythm. Later, Ankit responded in kind by pulling out of his batting stance which triggered a heated exchange.<\/p>\n

When Rathi was brought back later for a second spell, Ankit smashed consecutive sixes of the legspinner \u2013 over long-on and then clearing deep midwicket boundary.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t a happy outing for Digvesh as he bowled three wicketless overs for 33 runs.<\/p>\n

In a stark contrast, Ankit enjoyed a productive game as he missed out on a century by just four runs. He scored 96 off 46 with the help of 11 fours and six sixes as West Delhi Lions overhauled the target of 186 in 15.4 overs.<\/p>\n

Rathi\u2019s IPL Fame<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rathi was signed by LSG at the IPL mega auction last year at his base price of Rs 30 lakh. And he starred for the franchise with 14 wickets \u2013 the most by any uncapped bowler during the season. He became notorious for notebook celebration and later was punished for a fiery verbal exchange with Sunrisers Hyderabad opener Abhishek after which the BCCI punished him with a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n
