IPL 2025, LSG vs PBKS: LSG bowler Digvesh Rathi became the talk of the town for his unique celebration against Punjab. He resorted to the infamous ‘notebook’ celebration after picking up the crucial wicket of Punjab opener Priyansh Arya.

But now, his actions have not gone down well with former India legend Sunil Gavaskar. The legendary cricketer reckons Rathi was just looking to show off.
WATCH VIDEO ‘It’s not understandable’ “I can understand the celebration if the wicket comes after the batsman hit a boundary or a six in the previous ball. As a bowler, you’ve got six deliveries. So if you got five dot balls and get a wicket of the sixth, then you do something like that, it’s not understandable.
But all these gestures mean that you don’t expect to get a wicket. And now that you’ve got a wicket, you’re trying to, you know, show off. We know what Kohli did after that.
He hit him for a boundary after boundary after boundary...
(laughs),” said Gavaskar while on commentary on Star Sports.
