In Yesterday's IPL Match Between LSG vs SRH, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) player Digvesh Rathi has been officially suspended after a fiery on-field scuffle with Sunrisers Hyderabad's Abhishek Sharma in Lucknow, a moment captured by fans and the subject of much discussion on social media.

The officials confirm the incident happened in the second innings of the match after words were exchanged between Rathi and Abhishek prior to the matter escalating to a physical altercation. Even with umpires and teammates rushing to confirm the scene, the damage was done, and the IPL governing body reviewed the footage and deemed Rathi's final conduct breached the League's Code of Conduct, attracting a suspension and possible fine.

Conversely, Abhishek Sharma is reported as being advised but not suspended, and the matter may still be under review. This sudden turn of events is significant to this point in the League, with already made playoff positions on the line, the absence of Rathi comes at a critical point in the League, in which the team attempts additional high-pressure performances.
