Watch: LSG Pacer Akash Singh Repeats Digvesh Rathi's Controversial Celebration After Claiming Wicket

Lucknow Super Giants pacer Akash Singh paid tribute to his teammate Digvesh Rathi during an Indian Premier League 2025 match vs Gujarat Titans at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on Thursday. Notably, spinner Digvesh missed the game as he was serving a one-match suspension for his tussle with SunRisers Hyderabad batter Abhishek Sharma in LSG's previous game. Digvesh had taken out his trademark 'notebook' celebration after dismissing Abhishek and also gave a send-off to the batter.

The act of Digvesh didn't go well with Abhishek. The SRH opener charged at the spinner in anger, resulting in the umpires intervening and making peace between the two players. After the game, both players were penalised for the spat.

The war of words between Abhishek and Digvesh was not limited to the game, the spat continued even after the contest. During the post-match handshake, the duo again exchanged some words and this time, LSG assistant coach Vijay Dahiya also intervened and urged them to sort the differences out. Few moments later, both Abhishek and Digvesh were seen walking with their arms on each other's shoulders.

Amid all this drama, LSG owner Sanjiv Goenka also came out and had a quick chat with Abhishek. In this
