Digvesh Rathi repeats notebook sendoff again in LSG vs MI IPL 2025 match despite being penalized in his last outing [Watch]

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)’s new bowling sensation Digvesh Rathi repeated his notebook send-off in IPL 2025. This time, he did it against Mumbai Indians (MI) batter Naman Dhir at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday, April 4. The leg-spinner repeated it despite being penalized for his similar celebrations against Punjab Kings (PBKS)’ Priyansh Arya in the previous game at the same venue.

After breaking a 69-run stand for the third wicket, Rathi couldn’t stop himself from celebrating bluntly against Dhir. The latter perished for 46 runs off 24 balls, comprising three maximums and four boundaries. He delivered for MI after being promoted to No.3.

Meanwhile, the dismissal came in the ninth over of MI’s run chase. Rathi bowled a good length ball outside off, and Dhir tried to flick it but missed it altogether. The ball skidded after pitching before crashing into the off stump. Following the wicket, Rathi brought out the notebook celebrations despite being stopped mid-way by the on-field umpires in the last match.

Watch the video below:

Digvesh Rathi has been excellent with the ball for the Super Giants in his first few games. He bagged five wickets in his first three games, barring the ongoing match. The Delhi-born spinner was bought by LSG for INR 30 lakh at the IPL 2025 mega auction.
