During LSG’s struggle against Punjab kingsRathi took out the old school ‘Notebook Festival’ after Rathi rejected Punjab opener Priyansh Arya in a high-handed chase.
Arya, who gained fame to hit the sixth sixes in the Delhi Premier League, when Ratti copied the famous gesture – was going back to the pavilion to drain his left hand like a page and pretend to reduce an dismissal.
The move echoed the 2017 exchange between saffron Williams and Virat Kohli, which Kohli responded during a T20I in Hyderabad in 2019.
Earlier, Lucknow Super Giants posted 171/7 in 20 overs, with Nicholas Goran added 44 and 41 to Ayush Badoni.
Arshdeep Singh was a standout bowler for Punjab, who ended with 3/43 figures.
In response, Punjab Kings placed a major batting performance, chasing the target in just 16.2 overs.
Prabhasimran Singh scored 69 runs out of 34 balls, while Shreyas was unbeaten on 52 with Iyer Nehal Wadhera, who contributed 43*.
