Nitish Rana And Digvesh Rathi Share A Warm Hug After Major DPL Controversy
Cricket fans are really excited for the fifth match of IPL 2026 between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants, which is set to take place on April 1 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Everyone was curious about the possible tension between Nitish Rana and Digvesh Rathi. The good news is that any bad blood between them now seems to be over.
In a video shared by Lucknow Super Giants, captain Rishabh Pant played the role of peacemaker. He brought both players together for a friendly chat. Nitish Rana smiled and joked with Digvesh, suggesting he might have to sit with him. Pant also jumped in and told Digvesh, “Where are you going? That’s enough now.” To make the moment even better, Kuldeep Yadav joined the conversation and cracked a few jokes, telling Digvesh that he had given him too much advice in the past.
Seeing them talk and smile together has made fans delighted. It shows that even after a strong clash, players can move on and keep things professional. Instead of carrying old grudges, both Nitish and Digvesh now seem ready to focus on playing good cricket for their teams.
For the unversed, the controversy took place last August during a Delhi Premier League match. Nitish Rana and Digvesh Rathi had a heated argument on the field that got quite ugly. After the incident, Nitish was fined 50 percent of his match fee, while Digvesh had to pay a heavier 80 percent fine. Fortunately, everything turned out well in the end!
