The leggie made waves in the IPL 2025 as he claimed 14 wickets from 13 matches for Lucknow Super Giants.
More than his wicket-taking prowess and ability to bowl frugal spells, Rathi became infamous for his ‘Notebook’ celebration as he accrued multiple demerit points and fines from the match referees.
During a clash with SRH, Rathi’s celebration clearly incensed opening batter Abhishek Singh who got into a verbal battle that continued even after the match ended.
Besides Simarjeet and Rathi, Rajasthan Royals batter Nitish Rana attracted a bid of INR 34 lakh from West Delhi Lions. Rana, who had left Delhi for Uttar Pradesh in 2022, had recently returned to his old side after getting No Objection Certificate from Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association.
Meanwhile, Purani Dilli 6 have retained Indian Test vice-captain Rishabh Pant for the second season while Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Harshit Rana was retained by North Delhi Strikers.
Delhi captain and LSG’s star Ayush Badoni has been retained by South Delhi Superstarz.
