Digvesh has played all 12 matches so far this season and this is the first match that he is missing.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi is missing from the team’s playing XI to face Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad on Thursday. Digvesh has played all 12 matches so far this season and this is the first match that he is missing.
Digvesh Singh Rathi was suspended for one match after the controversial incident involving him and Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma. Very often this season, Digvesh has brought up his controversial notebook celebration whenever he takes wickets. He did hat celebration once again after he dismissed Abhishek Sharma during SRH’s run chase. Abhishek, however, did not like Digvesh’s action and the two of them got into a heated exchange.
Digvesh was also fined 50 per cent of his match fees and now has received five demierit points this season, leading to his suspension. Abhishek was also reprimanded after he was fined 25 per cent of his match fees along with one demerit point. This was his first offence of the season.
