'Teri choti pakad ke maarunga': Abhishek Sharma to Digvesh Rathi

New Delhi: During an IPL 2025 game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants, on Monday, there was a heated exchange of words between LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi and SRH batter Abhishek Sharma. The confrontation came following Sharma’s removal for 59 runs, after which Rathi had done a celebratory action that Sharma felt was taunting. This prompted an argument between the two players. Replays indicate that Rathi’s action could have been responsible for the rift.

Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets on Monday. Abhishek Sharma’s stupendous 59 runs from 20 balls, with six sixes, secured the win and knocked Lucknow Super Giants out of IPL playoff chances.

Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram each scored impressive half-centuries (65 and 61 runs respectively), but Sunrisers Hyderabad’s bowling restricted Lucknow Super Giants to a final total of 205 for 7 wickets.
