In a thrilling encounter that kept fans on the edge of their seats, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) clinched a nail-biting victory against the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday, April 4. LSG’s batters set the stage ablaze with a commanding target of 204, thanks to a blistering partnership between Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. However, the Mumbai Indians’ bowlers didn’t go down without a fight, claiming eight wickets, including a stellar five-wicket haul by their skipper.
Yet, the hero of the hour was undoubtedly LSG’s young spinner, Digvesh Singh Rathi. With a spell that can only be described as masterful, Rathi conceded a mere 21 runs in his four overs, boasting an enviable economy rate of 5.25. This performance not only turned the tide in LSG’s favor but also earned him the prestigious Player of the Match award.
Rathi’s Notebook Celebration Steals the Spotlight Again
In a team brimming with talent, including seasoned spinner Ravi Bishnoi, Rathi’s performance stood out like a beacon of brilliance. While his contemporaries like Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Shardul Thakur, and Akash Deep each leaked around 40 runs, Rathi’s frugality was a class apart.
Adding a dash of drama to his already stellar performance, Rathi once again unveiled his now-iconic notebook celebration after dismissing MI’s Naman Dhir in the final over. This celebration had previously landed him in hot water, earning him a 25% fine on his match fee during LSG’s last game against the Punjab Kings. Whether history will repeat itself remains to be seen.
