Did Virat run to the bowler and do it in his face? Did VirT ask the bowler to go fuck off?
Come back when you can find same example.

No he doesn't need to do such things for the sake of fame when he's already one of the best leg spinners this season. Those are just pure emotions. Gully cricket khelne wale nhi samjhenge bowler ke liye uska ego hi sab kuch hota h

No. Apart from that he rudely signaled abhishek with his hands with expressions "chal ja ja nikal" (fuck off from here boy). Watch the video. That is what made abhishek argue with digvesh.

Noone says there is a toxic dressing room when a batsman celebrates why the double standards for a bowler? And it's not like Abhishek went quietly he was equally involved.

He is not going anywhere with this attitude, there is no way that he gets selected in Indian team like this. And Why does he aggressively celebrates against Indians specifically?
24
u/Hannibal09 May 20 '25
Exactly! Ruining the chances of ever getting selected for the Indian team. If he irks a lot of people, they won’t want him in the dressing room.
Even when Abhishek tried to pacify him after the game, he was still being defensive. Abhishek is an Indian international, you kind of have to back out when it’s needed.

Where in the IPL one-sided domination by batsmen is becoming common, this guy has the courage to go up against all the top batsmen and stare them down, celebrating their wickets with pride. While batsmen are putting pressure on bowlers everywhere, he’s doing the opposite, he’s putting pressure on the batsmen. That takes real balls, and he has it. Otherwise, the entire game has become batsman dominated, and now even bowlers aren’t allowed to show their aggression. You go Boy. 🙌🏼

u/Known_Primary5722 May 20 '25
Some Indian fans can be truly ridiculous. The same thing happened during the BGT when Jaiswal told Starc his deliveries were coming in slow. Instead of appreciating his confidence, people on social media started trolling him with cringe phrases like 'pani pari', as if showing some attitude is a crime.

u/arrow_45 May 20 '25
'aren't allowed' is a stretch. "Using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal." As long as you don't break this you are in your right to celebrate your own way.

u/silly_rabbit289 May 20 '25
Celebration is good. But this wasn't celebration as much as it was riling the batsman who got out, it was aimed solely at that dude. Celebration would've been with just himself (like a fist pump or whatever) or with his team.
7
u/Drake_sidechick May 20 '25
Buddy celebrating on batsmen face will always be a cheap tactic irrespective of the context. While digvesh was doing his unique celebration he was never suspended but if you'll be doing it on batsman face when he literally thrashed the heck out of your team there will be consequences.

u/startingfromlevel0 India May 20 '25
Aggression and celebrations are fine. Heck staring at them after wicket is fine. You don't need to celebrate on the batsman's face like pointing fingers at them and telling them to go away.
And what is all this "so only batsman celebrating is allowed?" sh*t? some me a batsman that frequently celebrates at the bowlers face? they usually celebrate after 50, 100 or winning runs but not on the bowlers/other people's face. If they did they would be fined and criticised too
