The match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lived up to fans' expectations, delivering a thrilling contest between bat and ball. Defending a competitive total of 204, LSG's bowlers had a dream start, dismissing both MI openers within the first four overs. This early setback left MI struggling at 17/2 in match number 16 at IPL 2025.

However, Naman Dhir turned the tide with a brilliant batting display, attacking the LSG bowlers and scoring freely around the ground. Just as he looked set for a big score, he was outfoxed by a beautiful googly from Digvesh Rathee. The dismissal came immediately after the strategic timeout, as Dhir failed to read a loopy googly, leading to his downfall.

Beyond the wicket, what caught even more attention was Rathee’s celebration. It was the same gesture he had used after dismissing Punjab Kings' opener, Priyansh Arya, though this time, his celebration appeared more controlled and composed.

Lets see how Twitter reacted to this celebration from Digvesh Rathi;

 

 

Digvesh Rathi was fined 25 % match fees against Punjab Kings

Rathi was fined 25% of his match fees and received a demerit point for allegedly displaying unsporting behavior. His Aryan-style celebration was deemed a violation of the code of conduct for sporting professionals. Authorities emphasized the importance of maintaining discipline in the game, particularly in avoiding provocative actions.

They highlighted the distinction between his usual celebrations and the controversial Aryan gesture, stating that the latter crossed the line of acceptable conduct for any sportsperson.
