LSG Spinner Digvesh Rathi Gives Fiery Send-Off To Priyansh Arya, Faces Sunil Gavaskar’s Criticism

The Lucknow Super Giants Digvesh Rathi spinner gave an ardent sending to the opening of Punjab Kings Priyansh Arya during their 2025 IPL meeting on Tuesday. During the third above the PBKS sleeves, Priyansh ended up being wrong on the Bowling of Digvesh and the ball went to the air in the air. Shardul Thakur moved halfway and finished an easy socket to give LSG their first breakthrough. Rathi immediately ran to the striker and made a gesture that meant that his name had been added to his license book. The spinner was instantly called by the referee on the field which had a brief conversation with him.

The entire incident left the legendary Indian cricket team Captain Sunil Gavaskar unhappy when he criticized the buffoonery of Digvesh. Gavaskar was not in favor of such a shipment and said that strikers did not make such gestures whenever they reach a border against quisors.

The Punjab Kings appreciated the fruits of a fantastic effort of bowling in the power game while the Super Giants of Lucknow posted a parking lot of 171 for 7 on a delicate surface of the Ekana stadium in an IPL match on Monday.

On a track that seemed to two rhythms with a variable rebound, the Kings of the Kings of Punjab led by the always dependable Arshdeep Singh eliminated the first order in the first six Overs and the contributions of Nicholas Poornan in shape (44 out of 30) and Ayush Badoni (41 OFF 33 balls) was not enough to put a difficult score on board.

The Punjab bowling performance on Monday was the perfect definition to do so in unison while the Glenn Maxwell (1/22 in 3 Overs) and Yuzvendra Chahal (1/36 in 4 Overs) supplied the Pacers Lockie Ferguson (1/26 in 3 Overs), Arsheep (3/43 in 4 Overs) and Marco Jansen (1/28 in 4 Overs).

Credit should also be granted to the skipper Shreyas Iyer, whose smart courses in the field also assured that the LSG never controlled the situation.

On a track, where some deliveries were captivating and a strange bullet rebounded a little more, only Pooran looked comfortable against pacers and spinners.
