However, Gavaskar is not the only one to slam him. Former India batter Mohammad Kaif also didn't like Digvesh Rathi's attitude and criticised him. The spinner was later fined by the BCCI and also received a demerit point.
During the Hindi commentary, Mohammad Kaif slammed Digvesh and wondered what his send-off would do as the batter has already been dismissed. It is to be noted that both Priyansh and Digvesh played for the same team in the Delhi Premier League and know each other well.
The notebook celebration became popular when West Indies fast bowler Kesrick Williams used to do it a few years ago. He did the same thing to Virat Kohli after getting his wicket in one game, and Kohli noticed it.
Sunil Gavaskar on Digvesh Rathi's celebration
Not only Kaif, Sunil Gavaskar was not pleased with Digvesh Rathi's attitude. During the English commentary, he vented his anger towards the young spinner. Gavaskar called it an act of "show off" and was unable to understand the reason behind it.
"But all these gestures mean that you don't expect to get a wicket. And now that you've got a wicket, you're trying to, you know, show off," he added.
Digvesh Rathi punished by the BCCI
Despite his antics, Digvesh was the best bowler from LSG as he returned with impressive figures of 2-30 in four overs. The spinner picked up both the wickets to fall for Punjab Kings but was unable to prevent a big defeat for Lucknow Super Giants.
Punjab Kings defeated LSG by 8 wickets with 22 balls remaining as they chased down a target of 172 with utmost ease. Skipper Shreyas Iyer led the way with the bat for Kings while Prabhsimran Singh top-scored for the team.
