Rathi dismissed Abhishek in the eighth over of the innings, and then he did his signature notebook celebration. The celebration resulted in a heated altercation between the two players.
The mystery spinner gave a fiery send-off to Abhishek, which ultimately provoked the batter, and then both engaged in a war of words.
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla also stepped in the matter to resolve the matter between both players following the conclusion of the match.
Suresh Raina’s opinion on the Abhishek-Digvesh fight
"Digvesh Rathi's notebook now has Abhishek Sharma's name added to it. The fight that happened, Digvesh seemed to say to Abhishek that he did not say anything to him. But, what is happening is quite wrong actually, these two are Indian players," Raina said on Star Sports during commentary.
