Cricket Bloopers: Digvesh Rathi and Nitish Rana’s Spat Turns Into Meme Madness
The Domestic T20 leagues have now started to gain more attention among Indian fans, and the Delhi Premier League is probably the main reason behind this. Recently, West Delhi Lions and South Delhi Superstarz faced off against each other, but little did the fans know, they would see some intense competition between the players in this game.
On a specific occasion, things started to build up between Digvesh Rathi and Nitish Rana. However, they escalated very well, as some verbal exchanges also took place between the two players. Both were fined immediately after the match, but this altercation started a meme war on Twitter, related to the same.
Digvesh’s Balance Sheet Battles
Ever since Digvesh Rathi made his debut in the Indian Premier League, there has been almost no game in which he didn’t give a percentage of his match fees in the form of a fine. This even took place in the Delhi Premier League match, where he was fined 80% of his match fees, following the altercation with Nitish Rana.

Reacting to this, a Twitter user took the iconic Indian meme, which said that the investment was for 35 lakhs, how did we suffer a loss of 36 lakhs? He also captioned this nostalgic Indian meme by saying that this would be the average conversation between Digvesh Rathi and his CA.
Digvesh Takes a Pledge
Digvesh Rathi made his first IPL appearance in the recently concluded season, and since then, he has not been known much for his bowling skills. Instead, he has received a lot of fame from his celebrations and popular send-offs, but this also comes at a price. And this price is being paid by the bowler himself by sacrificing a part of his match fees.
Digvesh Rathi ne kasam khai hui hai ke kabhi poori match fees ghar lekar nahi jaunga.

He was bought for 30 lakhs in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction by Lucknow SuperGiants, but the majority of his games went in paying a percentage of his match fees as a fine. When it also happened in the Delhi Premier League, a Twitter user reacted to the same by saying that it seems Digvesh has taken a pledge to never take the complete match fees with him.
Rathi’s Wallet Says No
With Digvesh Rathi gaining a lot of popularity over him, paying his match fees in the form of a fine, the Twitter users have gone way too far to troll him. Although he did receive a lot of trolling in the Indian Premier League, fans thought that maybe it happened due to the heat of the game in the biggest T20 league of cricket.

But when this happened, even in the Delhi Premier League, one of them thought that possibly Digvesh Rathi had given up on his match fees. It might also be true, as there have been almost no games since his IPL debut, during which he has gone without paying a portion of his match fees in the form of a fine. Now it seems that Digvesh Rathi wants to be known for his fine paying skills, except for his spin bowling.
Getting Addicted
When Digvesh Rathi got fined for the very first time in the Indian Premier League, fans felt pity for the youngster, that he would be compromising on his match fees. But when it became more common, fans started to look at this situation through a different perspective, as some thought he loved being fined in the IPL.

Recently, with his altercation against Nitish Rana leading to yet another hefty fine for him, fans on Twitter have now started to think that maybe he loves being fined every match. In this situation, a Twitter user found the perfect meme matching Digvesh Rathi and him being fined in every match. They now wonder how much Digvesh will pay in IPL 2026.
Not Just Digvesh’s Mess
During the Indian Premier League, fans remember Digvesh Rathi being fined in almost every match he played for Lucknow SuperGiants. But he has been in altercations with players such as Abhishek Sharma and many more in the tournament; still, the name involved was mainly his.
It has been similar even in the Delhi Premier League, as Nitish Rana received much less blame compared to Digvesh Rathi. Rana was fined just 50%, while Rathi paid 80% of his match fees in the form of a fine. Reacting to this, a Twitter user said that despite Rathi not being completely at fault, he still gets all the blame.
International Level Anger
Over the past few months, fans have seen the level of attitude and anger being shown by Digvesh Rathi to the batsmen who are against him. Although he is aged just 25, the intent of the player remains hidden or might not be seen by the former players or selectors due to his attitude and behaviour on the field.
Digvesh mein itna attitude hai, us hisab se wo 15-20 saal se international cricket khel raha hoga.
— अंकुश (@ankushtweets) August 30, 2025
Watching aggressive moments take place in international matches has been common for the fans, but Digvesh has now made it common in the IPL and also DPL matches involving him. A Twitter user hilariously reacted to the same by saying that, taking a look at Digvesh’s attitude, he seems to have 15-20 years of experience in international cricket. But the plot twist to this situation is that Digvesh Rathi is just 25 years old as of now.
Delhi Lobby
In the argument that took place between Digvesh Rathi and Nitish Rana, fans have seen that both players had an equal involvement in the same. Although Digvesh started it first, Rana replied well, leading to a heated argument, where even the umpires and other teammates had to step in to stop the situation from escalating further.
But, it should be noted that both are from Delhi, and this is the place where most of the aggressive Indian cricketers, such as Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, also belong. A Twitter user took this as a reference and said that since Digvesh and Nitish both are from Delhi, it should be common for the fans to expect such scenarios to take place.
Digvesh’s No Change
Digvesh Rathi started to be known to the fans with his inclusion in the Lucknow SuperGiants in the IPL 2025 season. What was seen as a promising spinner for the team ended as a player who received fines in almost every match he played for his team. It should be noted that Digvesh Rathi also served a suspension in the Indian Premier League.
Sun may rise in the west but digvesh rathi never plays a match without getting fined

Fans thought that this might be restricted to the IPL, till Digvesh received a fine in his recent DPL match, where he had an argument with Nitish Rana on the field. In this situation, a fan gave a taunt to the Indian spinner, saying that we might see the Sun rising from the West someday, but there might not be a single game where Digvesh Rathi is not fined.
Hilarious Future Prediction
Digvesh Rathi has paid so many fines since his debut in the Indian Premier League, it may be difficult even for the fans to keep track of the amount he has lost through the same. Adding to his IPL fines even came a hefty 80% match fees fine during the Delhi Premier League, which might have added more to his blows.
At this rate, Rathi will need loans just to step on the field 😭🙏🏻
— Vikas Sharma (@itsvksharma_) August 30, 2025
A Twitter user started to use his mathematical knowledge to see what could possibly be the future of Digvesh Rathi if he paid fines at this rate. He hilariously reacted to the same by saying that a time will come when he might take a loan just to step on the cricket field.
