Digvesh Rathi gets Abhishek Sharma’s wicket… then gets under his skin with send off: a blow-by-blow account of drama

Lucknow Super Giants’ Digvesh Rathi has made a name for himself this season of the Indian Premier League with his wicket-taking ability, and his ability to then get under the skin of the dismissed batter with his notebook send-off. On Monday, he was at it again: giving the LSG a breakthrough wicket of the well-set Abhishek Sharma just when things were beginning to look insurmountable. And while Abhishek Sharma was walking off after handing a catch to Shardul Thakur at extra cover region, he was given a signature send-off and a full-blooded glare by Digvesh Rathi. This led Abhishek Sharma to eyeball the bowler as he walked away. But then he stopped and walked back towards Rathi. The duo had to be separated by the umpire and the LSG fielders but not before they exchanged some words. Before ...

Rishabh Pant is stubborn; should open in white ball, says Ambati Rayudu

Former India batsman Ambati Rayudu has called on Rishabh Pant to not be stubborn and play as an opener in white-ball cricket as the wicketkeeper batsman continues to struggle for runs.

And Rayudu has said that one of the reasons behind his “very, very bad patch” could be down to Pant’s stubbornness. In 10 innings so far, Pant has made only 128 runs which includes one fifty and five single-digit scores.

Ambati Rayudu tells Rishabh Pant: ‘Can’t give any more excuses… take decisions on your own’

Rishabh Pant and his team Lucknow Super Giants were handed another defeat at home in Lucknow by his old IPL side, the Delhi Capitals. The home side made a couple of baffling selection decisions in the game and could only manage to set a target of 159, which Delhi chased down with 13 balls remaining and eight wickets in hand. What made matters worse for the hosts was that while Pant came so low down the order that he could not really make an impact (eventually he scored a duck after facing just two balls) while Lucknow’s former captain KL Rahul had a game to remember, guiding his new team Delhi to victory with an unbeaten half century. In the process, KL Rahul also became the fastest player to score 5000 runs in the IPL. Asked why he had come in so low down the order, Pant had explained: “I...
