Digvesh Singh Rathi (born 15 December 1999) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Delhi in domestic cricket and Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League.[1][2][3]

Career

[edit]

Rathi made debut his Twenty20 career on 29 November 2024, in the 2024-25 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.[4]

IPL

[edit]

Rathi was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for 30 lakh in the 2025 IPL Super Auction. He made his IPL debut for the Lucknow Super Giants in a match against Delhi Capitals.[5][6] Bowling his third delivery in the IPL, he got the wicket of Delhi Capitals captain Axar Patel.[7][8][9]

IPL disciplinary

[edit]

Rathi's 'writing in the notebook' celebration earns him fines on multiple occasions of IPL 2025. As a first instance, on 1/4/25 he was fined 25% of match fee when he had sent Priyansh Arya back a writing in the notebook sign gesture and a bit of body contact in an eight-wicket defeat in Lucknow on April 1, earning one demerit point and Level 1 code of conduct breach. He then involved sent-off Naman Dhir with a similar celebration in the match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on 11/4/25 night in Lucknow, has been fined 50% of his match fee and given two demerit points.[10] Despite this, Rathi continued the write-off celebration in next match against Kolkata Knight Riders, when Sunil Narine was out in his second ball of first over on 8/4/25. BCCI has now reprimanded Rathi again for breaching Article 2.5 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which prohibits actions that could provoke or demean a dismissed batter. The third incident earned him another demerit point, bringing his tally to four—precisely the threshold for a one-match suspension. 4 demerit points within 36 months equate to one suspension point, resulting Rathi faces an immediate ban if he do it again.
