Rathi Suspended and Fined for IPL Code of Conduct Breach
In a recent IPL match, Digvesh Rathi, a player for Lucknow Super Giants, got into trouble.
After dismissing a batsman, he celebrated, which the batsman didn't like.
This led to an on-field argument.
Rathi was later suspended and fined half his match fee for this and prior issues.
Another player, Abhishek Sharma, was also fined for his part in the incident.
The fines were issued because Rathi had broken rules related to player conduct.
This is due to his celebration and other previous incidents.
This means he will not be able to play in the next match.
Digvesh Rathi was suspended and fined for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.
Rathi received a 50% match fee fine and was suspended for his actions during the match against SRH.
Abhishek Sharma was fined 25% of his match fee for his actions in the same match.
