LSG's Akash Singh threatens BCCI ban by emulating Digvesh Rathi's notebook celebration

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) spinner Digvesh Rathi has been banned from one match by BCCI for his continuous notebook celebration.

However, the tick-tock notebook celebration refuses to die down despite BCCI's tough stance against it.

LSG left-arm fast bowler Akash Singh threatened BCCI action by emulating Digvesh's celebration after dismissing Gujarat Titans (GT) batter Jos Buttler at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Akash's celebration drew special attention. He immediately signalled to the dressing room and signed the notebook almost in a tribute to his teammate Rathi, who was suspended by the BCCI for breaching IPL Code of Conduct. 

Notably, Digvesh was suspended for ignoring multiple BCCI warnings, demerit points and fines for his tickling the notebook celebration. Moreover, his heated on-field fight with Abhishek Sharma on the same matter was the last nail in the coffin.

Now it remains to be seen if Akash gets cautioned by BCCI in a similar way. IPL's social media handle definitely took note of the left-arm pacer's celebration.

Akash returned with figures of 1/29 in his 3.1 overs in the match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. LSG scripted a consolation 33-run win over Gujarat Titans.

While LSG have already been eliminated from the tournament, GT were through to playoffs.
