In the ongoing IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants at the Wankhede Stadium, the visitors won the toss and opted to bat first. MI got off to a great start, but lost wickets at regular intervals. 

Ryan Rickelton was the star with the bat as he scored a brilliant 58 (32), which featured six fours and four sixes. However, LSG's Digvesh Rathi got rid of the South Africa batter and sent him packing. On the 4th ball of the 9th over, Rathi got his first wicket of the match, and immediately brought back his notebook celebration.

Rathi, who took his 10th wicket of this season, gestured with writing a note on the ground and gave a proper send-off to Rickelton. Earlier, Rathi used to do these celebrations and has already given a lot of fines for his actions, but he won't be find this time around and here's why. 

Why Digvesh Rathi Won't Be Fined For His Actions?

It is worth noting that when Rathi did this celebration on the first two occasions and was fined heavily by the IPL. However, midway through the season, IPL made a few amendments and had asked the officials to be lenient on bowlers with their celebrations.

The decision was taken during Umpires' weekly meeting in April 2025, where it was a major relief for Digvesh Rathi. Thus, the LSG spinner won't be fined for his celebration against MI. Talking about the ongoing match, at the time of writing this article, MI are 145/4 after 14.1 overs.
