Digvesh Rathi refuses to tick Virat Kohli's name in notebook celebration in sheepish reaction before LSG vs RCB match
Digvesh Singh Rathi, famous for his "tick the notebook" celebration after dismissing a batter, which has also attracted fines and even a suspension for one match in this IPL, is unlikely to bring the notebook out if he gets a wicket of Virat Kohli. Ahead of the Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru last league match of IPL 2025, LSG's Digvesh Rathi was asked, "Agla number kiska? (Whose number is next?)." As soon as the crowd gathered to watch Digvesh from close, they started taking Virat Kohli's name. The leg-spinner smiled sheepishly and shook his head ever-so-slightly to indicate that he would not prefer to tick Kohli's name in the notebook. Digvesh, the breakaway star in an otherwise topsy-turvy season for LSG, has picked up 14 wickets in 12 matches at an economy rate of 8.19. Apart from his Narine-like run-up and high-arm release that gave batters a difficult time, Digvesh caught everyone's attention with his 'tick the notebook' celebration after dismissing a batter. The man from Delhi was fined twice and warned by BCCI for breaching IPL Code of Conduct with the notebook celebration but he refused to do away with it. In his last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he not only ticked Abhishek Sharma's name in the notebook after dismissing the dynamic opener but also got involved in a heated fight with him. It was deemed as his third Level 1 offence by the match referee which accumulated five demerit points. As per the IPL Code of Conduct, five demerits added to a player's quota result in a one-match suspension. Digvesh will go up against Kohli for the first time in his career as this is LSG and RCB's first match this season. They were not placed in the same group and hence will play each other once this year. As LSG have not managed to qualify for the playoffs, this will be Digvesh's only opportunity to dismiss Kohli, who has now retired from Test cricket. Most of the time, his celebrations come after being blasted by the opposition batters. In this instance, it came after India opener Abhishek had smashed 59 off 20 balls, including half a dozen sixes. LSG were completely outclassed by SRH and the defeat ended their chances of IPL qualification. In a social media video posted by LSG earlier in the season, teammate Nicholas Pooran was seen jokingly asking Digvesh about his obsession with the notebook celebration. His response? "Because I am from Delhi."

Rajat Patidar And Pat Cummins Face Heavy Fines For Breaching The IPL Code Of Conduct
Royal Challengers Bengaluru faced Sunrisers Hyderabad at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Friday, May 23. The match ended in the favor of Sunrisers Hyderabad but both captains were fined after the match. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain Rajat Patidar played the match only as an impact player, and Jitesh Sharma was the stand-by captain for yesterday's match. He was fined INR 24 lakhs for maintaining a slow over rate while Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins was also fined INR 12 lakhs for breaching the IPL code of slow over rate in Lucknow. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Fine This was RCB's second offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences. As a result, Patidar received the maximum fine stipulated for repeat offenders. Additionally, the rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either INR 6 lakh or 25% of their respective match fees, whichever was lesser. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Fine Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins was fined INR 12 lakh for his team's slow over-rate during the same match. Since it was SRH's first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Cummins received a lesser fine compared to Patidar. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be ruing the missed opportunity to go top of the Indian Premier League 2025 table as Sunrisers Hyderabad handed a crushing 42-run. With this loss, RCB's run rate has taken a heavy hit and pushed them down to third place in the table, with Punjab Kings moving past due to their superior run rate. Gujarat Titans are still at the top of the table with 18 points, and Mumbai Indians are in fourth with 16.

BCCI Takes Action Against Rajat Patidar, Pat Cummins Over 'IPL Code Of Conduct' Breach
Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar and Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins have been fined for their respective teams' slow over-rate during their Indian Premier League match. While Cummins was fined Rs 12 lakh as it was his team's first offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct, Patidar was docked Rs 24 lakh as a member of the playing XI of the second-time offender RCB. "As it was his team's second offence of the season under the IPL's Code of Conduct relating to minimum over-rate offences, Patidar was fined Rs 24 lakhs," said the IPL in a statement. "The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, were each individually fined either Rs 6 lakh or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser." The IPL statement also added: "As it was his team's first offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which pertains to minimum over-rate offences, Cummins was fined Rs 12 Lakh." Already assured of a playoff berth, RCB suffered a 42-run loss against SRH. Royal Challengers Bengaluru squandered a golden chance to finish inside the top two of the IPL points table, going down to Ishan Kishan-fuelled Sunrisers Hyderabad by 42 runs on Friday. As a result of this heavy defeat, Royal Challengers (17 points) have slid down to third on the table behind Gujarat Titans (18) and Punjab Kings (17). The Net Run Rate (NRR) also took a significant beating. Once they were asked to chase an imposing 232, which the SRH set after Kishan made a stunning unbeaten 94 off 48 balls, RCB required some calculated assault on the target. They mounted it through Phil Salt (62, 32b, 4xx, 5x6), Virat Kohli (43, 25b, 7x4, 1x6) and Jitesh Sharma (24, 15b), but could only amass 189 before getting bundled out, and it was RCB's first defeat away from home this season.
