[WATCH] Abhishek Sharma Involved in Heated Exchange With Digvesh Rathi During LSG vs SRH Match in IPL 2025

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batter Abhishek Sharma was involved in a heated argument with Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) bowler Digvesh Rathi during an IPL 2025 match in Lucknow on Monday.

The incident took place during the eighth over of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s chase after Rathi dismissed Abhishek for 59. Abhishek looked to go big through the off-side but was caught by Shardul Thakur at sweeper cover.

As soon as Abhishek was dismissed, Digvesh Rathi came up with his controversial notebook celebration. This angered Abhishek, who exchanged a few words with Rathi. The umpires and players had to intervene then to put the situation under control.
