News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket ethics: The IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants was full of adventure and drama, but the main attraction of the match was not just run or wickets. It was a sharp clash between SRH opener Abhishek Sharma and LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi, which made headlines. The incident occurred during the eighth over of SRH’s goal and went ahead of the boundary, after which BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla had to intervene after the game.
Abhishek Sharma was in excellent form and he beat LSG bowlers fiercely. But when he was dismissed for 59 runs off 20 balls, things changed. Digvesh Rathi, who took the wicket, showed his trademark notebook celebrations, for which he is known, but this SRH opener Abhishek did not like it. After being dismissed, he had some sharp debate with the bowler, which led to a stressful situation and the umpires had to intervene.
Drama continues even after match
However, this drama did not end on the ground. While joining hands after the match, Abhishek was stopped by LSG assistant coach Vijay Dahiya and talked to him.
