Digvesh Rathi was extremely popular among fans in his first IPL season, mainly because of his performance, but not because of his celebrations.
Spinner definitely influenced spin bowling this year, but it’s no mistake to say he’s getting more attention for his “notebook celebration.” The Delhi spinner, who played for the Super Giants in Lucknow, quickly made an impression with the ball.
He picked up seven wickets while maintaining an economic rate of less than eight. During the same period, he was fined twice, not once, for the celebration of the “notebook.” But it was his obsession with the celebration that he continued it, even after he was fined twice.

The same celebration also led to one-match suspension for Digvesh Rathi. The LSG spinner was suspended in one match after sending off to Sunrisers Hyderabad star Abhishek Sharma. As a result, he missed LSG’s final game against the Gujarat Titans, but is expected to return to the team for upcoming matches against Bengaluru for the Royal Challengers.
Destroy to digvesh rati virat Kohli:
Fans are definitely waiting for a battle between Digvesh Rathi and Virat Kohli when the LSG and RCB lock the corners of each other. When the bowler last tried out a notebook celebration for Kohiri, it backfired him in an epic way. The bowler was Kesslic Williams of the West Indies.
Will Digveshsh Rathi be congratulating him if he rejects Kohli in a future match? Well, the LSG bowler revealed that he would not carve Kori’s name into his notebook.
Prior to the match, Lati interacted with the fans when asked, “Agra number Kiska? (Whose number is it next?)”.
Even before the spinner said anything, the crowd began to take Kohli’s name. However, as Latty had a sheepish smile on his face, he shook his head to clarify his intentions, indicating that if he gets Kohli’s precious wicket, he will not make his trademark celebration.
Someone asked: – Who will be the next batter on that notebook list?
Crowd: – “Virat Bhai is
