As an LSG fan watching the IPL 2025 unfold, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the latest on-field antics! Digvesh Rathi has been making waves with his quirky notebook-signing send-offs, recently targeting PBKS’ Priyansh Arya and MI’s Namam Dhir. But it seems not everyone’s on board with the trend. LSG all-rounder Shahbaz Ahmed, with a grin I can imagine, shared his lighthearted hope that Rathi might ease up on the habit. “I hope he doesn’t do it again,” Shahbaz said, his tone laced with a friendly nudge. Priyansh is his very good friend. He did it in a friendly way… It’s Rathi’s first IPL season, so all this is happening,” he added, giving the rookie some slack.
I can picture the camaraderie out there, but it seems the fun has come with a price—Shahbaz mentioned Rathi’s been fined twice over these send-offs! As someone who loves the spirit of the game, I’m torn between laughing at the cheekiness and feeling for the young player navigating his debut season. Here’s hoping Rathi finds a balance that keeps the smiles coming without the penalties.
