During a recent Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Rajasthan Royals' leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi performed the controversial 'notebook celebration' after dismissing Himmat Singh of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). This celebration has previously led to significant fines for fellow bowler Digvesh Rathi, raising eyebrows among fans and commentators regarding the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s enforcement of rules. While Rathi faced fines ranging from ₹9.37 lakh to ₹21.37 lakh for similar gestures last season, Bishnoi's celebration has not yet attracted any penalties, leading to accusations of double standards. Social media users have expressed their frustration, questioning whether the rules apply equally to all players. Bishnoi, who was released by LSG before the IPL 2026 auction, has been a standout performer this season, taking 11 wickets in seven matches, contributing to Rajasthan Royals' strong position in the league with five wins and two losses.
