Why BCCI Punished SRH All-Rounder Abhishek Sharma in IPL 2025

-


The 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has seen its fair share of excitement, drama, and controversy. Among the recent headlines is a disciplinary action taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) all-rounder Abhishek Sharma following an on-field altercation.

What Happened?

During a high-stakes IPL 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants, tensions flared between Abhishek Sharma and Lucknow pacer Digvesh Singh Rathi. What began as a competitive exchange soon escalated into a heated confrontation, catching the attention of match officials and prompting immediate disciplinary review.

The Consequences

Following the incident, BCCI swiftly acted under the IPL Code of Conduct:

  • Digvesh Singh Rathi was handed a one-match suspension and fined 50% of his match fees. This marked Rathi's third Level 1 breach of the code, resulting in more severe punishment.

  • Abhishek Sharma, meanwhile, received a reprimand, a 25% fine on his match fees, and one demerit point. This was Sharma’s first offence, hence the relatively lighter sanction.

The BCCI’s actions signal a clear message: player discipline and on-field conduct remain non-negotiable pillars of the IPL.

A Season of Struggles for Sharma

This incident comes at a time when Abhishek Sharma’s performance has been under the scanner. Despite a stunning 141-run knock earlier in the season against Punjab Kings—one of the standout innings in IPL 2025—his form has been inconsistent since.

Frustrated fans have taken to social media to voice their displeasure over his recent string of low scores, and now the disciplinary issue adds another layer to what has been a turbulent season for the young all-rounder.

The Bigger Picture

Cricket is not just about runs and wickets; it’s also about respect—for opponents, umpires, and the spirit of the game. The BCCI’s decision to penalize both players involved reflects the league’s commitment to upholding professionalism and sportsmanship, regardless of a player’s status or team affiliation.

As the tournament moves forward, all eyes will be on Abhishek Sharma—not just to see how he bounces back with the bat, but also how he conducts himself on the field.

When Jawaharlal Nehru Wrote to His Father About Hair Loss: A Glimpse into a 21-Year-Old’s Life in 1911

-
  We often remember Jawaharlal Nehru as India’s first Prime Minister—a visionary leader who helped shape the destiny of a newly independent nation. But before he became a towering political figure, Nehru was also a young man with everyday concerns, including something as relatable as... hair loss. Yes, you read that right. In 1911, a 21-year-old Jawaharlal Nehru, then studying law at the Inns of Court in London, wrote a heartfelt (and slightly exasperated) letter to his father, Motilal Nehru, about the steady loss of his hair. The letter, later included in The Selected Works of Jawaharlal Nehru , reveals a side of Nehru that many might find both humorous and deeply human.   The Frustration of Hair Loss In the letter, Nehru describes his growing frustration with his hair thinning out. He had already consulted a specialist—twice, no less—and was skeptical of any real solution. His father had apparently offered to send some hair oil from India, a gesture Nehru gently dismiss...
