Gavascar schools LSG Bowler After sending Kesrick Williams style, the referee's wrath draws: 'We know what Kohli did ...'

April 02, 2025 01:28 AM, not only the LSG bowler is the wrath of the referee for his actions, but he was also schooled by former captain Sunil Gavascar, India. Lucknow Super Giants Bowler Digvesh Rathi found himself in hot water after firing a Kesrick Williams style from Punjab Kings Opener Priyash Arya during their face at IPL 2025 match Tuesday at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Not only did he face the wrath of the referee for his act, but he was also schooled by former captain Sunil Gavascar, India. Digvesh Rathi gave a sending to PBKS opener Priyansh Arya. This happened in third place of Punjab’s innings after the visitors set a target of 172 Rathi set a shorter delivery outside than Arya, with whom he shared the locker room, in the Inta 5 performance of the Delhi Premier League. He went to the shot, but did not have the footwork, which led to an upper edge. Shardul Thakur grabbed it comfortably when Punjab made an early breakthrough. Rathi then ran up to a grieving Arya, returning to the Dugout, and subtracting a notebook celebration similar to that of veteran West Indian bowler Williams. The referee on the field immediately warned him when he shared a long chat before he had his ear again. “We know what Kohli did …” The act did not sit well with Gavascar, which dropped off at the Uncaped Indian during the comments. He said: “I can understand the celebration if the wicket comes after the batsman hit a border or six in the previous ball. As a bowler, you got six deliveries. If you get five dots and get a wicket from the sixth, then you do something like that, it is not understandable. But all these bids mean that you don’t expect to know.” A co -commentator quickly reminded that Williams did something similar against Virat Kohli in 2017 during a series against India in a series. Gavascar immediately replied: “We know what Kohli did afterwards. He hit him after a border after the border … (laughs).” Given his actions, which drew the referee’s wrath, Rathi could experience action of the BCCI for violating the IPL Code of Conduct. The match referee is likely to look at the case after the end of the match.
