The clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad during the IPL 2025 season took a dramatic turn with a heated altercation between LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi and SRH batter Abhishek Sharma. The incident occurred when Rathi celebrated after dismissing Abhishek, who had scored 59 off 20 balls. This led to a fiery exchange of words between the two players, with even a physical altercation during the post-match handshake. LSG assistant coach Vijay Dahiya intervened and ended up slapping Abhishek. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla had to step in as a mediator to resolve the issue. Abhishek later clarified that he had spoken to Rathi after the game and that everything was now resolved. Despite the off-field drama, Abhishek’s outstanding performance helped Sunrisers secure a six-wicket win, with him being the top run-scorer for the team in the season. His aggressive batting style and ability to express himself on the field have been instrumental in Sunrisers’ success.
