Bishnoi's 'Notebook' Celebration Sparks Debate
23 Apr
Summary
- Ravi Bishnoi's celebration mirrored Digvesh Rathi's penalized gesture.
- Fans questioned BCCI's double standards over inconsistent penalties.
- Bishnoi was released by LSG before joining RR for Rs 7.20 crore.
Ravi Bishnoi of Rajasthan Royals has sparked a significant social media discussion following his distinctive 'notebook celebration' during a recent IPL match against the Lucknow Super Giants. This particular gesture gained notoriety last season when fellow leg-spinner Digvesh Rathi incurred multiple fines from the BCCI for its repeated use.
The incident has drawn sharp reactions from fans, with many pointing out the perceived inconsistency in the cricket board's disciplinary actions. Some observers suggested Bishnoi's celebration was a subtle jab at LSG, the team that had released him prior to the IPL 2026 auction.
Bishnoi, who was acquired by the Rajasthan Royals for Rs 7.20 crore, has been a standout performer this IPL season, securing 11 wickets in seven matches. In contrast, Digvesh Rathi has struggled, taking only three wickets in five games for LSG, which is currently on a four-match losing streak.
