IPL 2025 ka action jahan har din naye twists la raha hai, wahin ek celebration ne bhi kaafi headlines bana li hain. Lucknow Super Giants ke spinner Digvesh Rathi ko ek baar phir se unke mashhoor ‘notebook celebration’ ke liye fine mila — aur is baar Sunil Gavaskar ne khul kar is decision par apni narazgi jatai.
“Pehli baar jab Digvesh ne yeh celebration kiya tha, us waqt woh Priyansh Arya ke bilkul paas tha, jo uske Delhi teammate bhi rahe hain. Toh fine justified tha. Lekin doosri baar jab usne Naman Dhir ka wicket liya, tab woh batter se door tha. Toh fine ka koi matlab nahi banta,” wrote Gavaskar in his column for Mid-Day.
Digvesh ne pehli baar yeh celebration kiya tha jab usne Punjab Kings ke opener Priyansh Arya ko out kiya. Doosri baar jab usne Mumbai Indians ke Naman Dhir ko dismiss kiya, toh bhi usne wahi style repeat kiya — aur firse fine lag gaya.
Lekin interesting twist yeh tha ki jab usne apne idol Sunil Narine (KKR) ka wicket liya, toh celebration ko creatively modify karke zameen pe likhne laga — aur is baar koi fine nahi mila.
Gavaskar: “Football se inspiration band karo!”
Sunil Gavaskar ne is mauke par Indian players ko ek aur valuable advice di — “Khud ka swag lao!“
“Aaj kal football leagues ki coverage har jagah ho rahi hai, aur cricketers apne favourite footballers ka celebration copy kar rahe hain. Caribbean players apne unique style se celebrate karte hain — humein bhi wahi approach follow karni chahiye,” said Gavaskar.
Unhone Mohammed Siraj ka example diya jo Cristiano Ronaldo ka ‘Siuuu’ celebration imitate karte hain. Gavaskar kehte hain ki Indian cricketers ko apna khud ka andaaz develop karna chahiye, jo unki personality aur culture ko reflect kare.
Wicket celebration ya over-acting?
“Top batter ko out karne ke baad celebration samajh aata hai. Lekin agar bowler pehle kuch chhake aur chauke kha chuka ho aur phir wicket milne pe over-celebrate kare, toh woh thoda hilarious lagta hai,” Gavaskar ne hasi mein likha.
Rathi ka IPL 2025 Performance
