Sunil Gavaskar criticized the BCCI for penalizing Lucknow Super Giants player Digvesh Singh Rathi for his notebook-style celebration. Rathi was fined 25% of his match fee and received a demerit point for getting too close to Punjab Kings batter Priyansh Arya during a celebration. Despite toning down his celebration by writing on the grass, Rathi was fined 50% of his match fee for a similar incident with Mumbai Indians’ Naman Dhir. Gavaskar questioned the second punishment, stating that Rathi did not invade the batter’s space during the second offense. Rathi has taken eight wickets in six matches for LSG and has managed to avoid further penalties from the BCCI.
