Virender Sehwag criticized the BCCI for their inconsistent treatment of players in the IPL when it comes to punishments for breaches of the Code of Conduct. Sehwag specifically pointed out the recent suspension of Lucknow Super Giants’ Digvesh Singh Rathi for an on-field scuffle, stating that players like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli have gotten away with similar incidents without facing bans. However, Sehwag failed to acknowledge that Digvesh had accumulated five demerit points from previous Level 1 offenses, leading to his suspension. In contrast, Dhoni and Kohli never reached the threshold of five demerit points for the BCCI to take action against them. Despite Sehwag’s criticism, the BCCI justified Digvesh’s ban based on his repeated violations of the Code of Conduct throughout the season. This explanation sheds light on why Digvesh was suspended while Dhoni and Kohli were not.
