Yograj Singh: IPL 2025 has been very exciting. This season, young spinner Digvesh Rathi, playing for Lucknow Super Joints, made a lot of headlines for celebrations. He did ‘notebook celebrations’ several times the entire season, due to which he was fined three times. Now former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh spoke openly on this entire matter and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was wrong.

In fact, during a special conversation with Insidsport, Yograj has said Digvesh right. He said, “Hey brother, why do you impose a fine?” Okay, it is done. Finally, players are friends. Sometimes feelings flow, forgive. Say sorry and end. Keep your heart big and do not fall into these small things. These children should stop the gimmick for fines. ”
Not only this, Yograj cited some of the previous incidents, saying that once Steve Waugh sled his son Yuvraj Singh when he was injured. At the same time, he also told that Sunil Gavaskar was called very bad by the West Indies players, but then no action was taken by the board.
What is ‘Notebook Celebration’ after all?
During the IPL 2025, Digvesh Rathi first performed a ‘notebook celebration’ after taking a wicket against Punjab, during which he appeared doing some note. His behavior was imposed 1 demerit point and fine. The second time he started celebrating as soon as he dismissed Naman Dhir against Mumbai, due to which he was imposed 2 demerit points and fines.
The third and last fine was fined after seeing Abhishek Sharma against Sunrisers Hyderabad. During this time a debate was also seen between the two players. When he celebrated against Hyderabad, he was deducted by 2 and 50% of his match fees with demerit points. Also, the next match was banned.
