NEW DELHI: A heated confrontation between young cricketers Abhishek Sharma and Digvesh Rathi during an IPL 2025 match at Ekana Stadium was resolved through BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla's intervention.

The tension escalated in the 10th over when Rathi dismissed Sharma, who had scored 59 runs. Rathi's aggressive celebration after taking the wicket triggered a heated exchange between the players.
