Abhishek Sharma returned to form in the match against the Rishabh Pant-led side, and he played a brutal innings. The left-handed opener looked aggressive from the start and didn't slow down as the innings progressed.
He was going great guns even after hitting fifty, before Digvesh Rathi cleaned him up in the 8th over for the score of 59 runs off 20 balls, with four fours and six sixes.
On the third ball of the 8th over, Digvesh Rathi bowled a googly to the SRH opener outside off-stump. Abhishek tried to smash it over extra cover, but didn't manage to make a good connection with the ball and was caught by Shardul Thakur.
Digvesh was delighted after picking up the wicket, and he gave a brutal send-off to Abhishek and brought out his trademark notebook celebration.
This didn't sit well with the SRH youngster, and he said something to the spinner while walking back. The duo soon charged towards each other and got closer to have an intense chat.
Things only got heated after that as the batter and the spinner were seen passing fiery comments at each other, and the umpires and the players had to interrupt and separate them.
