Overview

• League sanctions cited code-of-conduct breaches, fining Digvesh Rathi 80% of match fees, Nitish Rana 50%, Sumit Mathur 50%, Aman Bharti 30%, and Krish Yadav 100%.
• Rana and Rathi engaged in mind games and a heated face-off during the chase, with aborted run-ups, a reverse‑swept six, and a near-physical confrontation.
• A separate melee followed Krish Yadav’s dismissal, centering on Yadav, Bharti and Mathur, before a female on-field umpire and Rana intervened to restore order.
• Official DPL social media shared clips of both incidents, and the videos quickly went viral, intensifying scrutiny of player behavior.
• West Delhi Lions won by seven wickets chasing 202 as Rana hit 134 off 55, and they advance to face East Delhi Riders in Qualifier 2.
