Digvesh Rathi, who was already in the eye of controversies in IPL 2025, has again ignited drama—this time in Delhi Premier League 2025. The hot moment was witnessed in the 4.5 over of the second innings while West Delhi Lions were pursuing a target. Rathi, the bowler, seemed to jump out of his delivery stride at the last moment as Ankit Kumar, the opening batsman, was preparing to receive the ball. Ankit got frustrated and reacted in the following ball by stepping back just when Rathi was delivering. The affair heated up in no time as both players had a go at each other during a verbal duel on the field. However, the real twist came moments later when Ankit Kumar unleashed back-to-back sixes off Rathi’s bowling and mockingly counted the hits on his fingers, making sure the bowler knew exactly how many times he had been dispatched to the stands.
