Indian Premier League:Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi has been fined 25 per cent of his match fees for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during the 13th match of the tournament against Punjab Kings at the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, April 1st.

Digvesh Singh's two-wicket haul against Punjab Kings went in vain as the Lucknow Super Giants conceded a disappointing eight-wicket defeat on Tuesday, April 1st.

Digvesh Singh was fined following his celebration after Priyansh Arya's dismissal. During the run chase, Punjab Kings opener Arya went for a pull shot but got a top edge, and the ball straight lands on Shardul Thakur's palm who ran from a long distance to take the catch. As the PBKS batter was on his way out of the field, Digvesh went towards him and acted like he was writing the batter's name in an imaginary notebook.
