Nitish Rana and Digwesh Rathi are engaged in a huge controversy
A huge controversy that shook the Internet occurred in the second innings between West Delhi Lions and South Delhi Superstars cricketers, when Lions were chasing a huge target of 202 set by Superstars.
The first controversy to attract the attention of the Internet was between superstar spinner Digwesh Singh Rathi and West Delhi captain Nitish Rana. Rathi cheated Rana to play a sweep shot with a false run-up.
This incident harassed Rana; However, the batsman also pokes the bowler as he back back when Rathi completed his run-up next time. The scenes were already heated, and Rana carried it forward as he reversed the rathi on the point border for a six when he finally bowled his delivery.
This six followed by an oral spat as well as physical conflicts, which looked clear until the Lady Field Umpire intervened among the cricketers.
Nitish Rana clarified his reasons behind TIFF with Digwesh Rathi
In a recent post -match interview, West Delhi Lions won a qualifier 2 against the defending champion, informing PTI reporters that the incident during the eliminator match was a purely an excited phenomenon, and no person is to be convicted for it.
He clearly specified that he would not say that Rathi had provoked him, but it was clear that Rathi had beaten him, and although he never takes the first step, he is one of the characters who would not back down from giving a response to any such stimulation.
He said, “It would be unfair to say anything, because I can only put my end in front of you. Since it was not wrong at the end of anyone, both of us were there to win the match for our teams.”
He said, “If someone pokes me, I will give him back. He was trying to dismiss me by rejecting me with false run-ups, so I could also poke him and kill him for a six. This incident was just an example,” he said.
Nitish Rana and Digwesh Rathi were fined after mid-match arguments.
After the incident, there was another controversial controversy between superstars bowler Aman Bharti and Lions Batter Krishi. This incident also increased for a physical change, but this time, Rana himself stepped to settle things.
DDCA then went to Digvesh Rathi properly for 80% of his match fees, which has marked his 5th crime in the year 2025 since the IPL. Nitish Rana was also fined 50% of his match fees, while three other players, Sumit Mathur, Krish Yadav and Aman Bharti were also fined their match fees.
