New Delhi. Digvesh Rathi's replay was already realized by Team India's former wicketkeeper Vijay Dahiya. Long stature Rathi is creating panic in the IPL with his leg spin. Vijay Dahiya says that when he saw Digvesh playing in the club level tournament in the scorching heat of Delhi, he understood that this boy would name a lot someday. Digvesh has got an IPL -like platform to show his talent where he is bowling brilliantly for Lucknow Super Joints.

It is believed that once Vijay Dahiya (Vijay Dahiya) saw Rathi bowling at the Jamia Millia Islamia University ground (where Delhi played many Ranji Trophy games), he said to Ayush Badoni playing club level match at that time, 'This boy (Digvesh Rathi) will play IPL in the next few years' Badoni had become an important part of the Lucknow team at that time while Dahiya was the assistant coach of the team. Dahiya became an assistant coach of Kolkata Knight Riders in 2009 and since then he is considered to be an expert in talent.

Before the match, Yashasvi Jaiswal's reaction came, Goa left Mumbai and said- 'I know how much…'

Digvesh Rathi on Friday proved Dahiya's prediction by taking one wicket for 21 runs against Mumbai Indians. Apart from dismissing the dangerous Naman Dhir, he put eight dots in front of the big batsmen of Mumbai. This journey has not been easy for Digvesh, which was 25 years old last December, because he had to face the unstable selection policies of Delhi cricket. Digvesh, a resident of Sushila Garden located in Seemapuri area of ​​North East Delhi, was selected in the Delhi Under-23 team in the 2018-19 season, but he did not get a chance to play a single match.

He was excluded in the next session and then he had almost gone missing until 2022-23 session. The Indian Cricket Board converted the under-23 competition to under-25 and Rathi got a chance to play 10 matches in red and white ball formats for Delhi. After success in the Delhi Premier League in this season, Rathi got a chance to play against Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur in Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy. Seeing his bowling, the people of Delhi cricket are surprised as to why the head coach Sarandeep Singh and the Selection Committee did not feed him more matches.

An official of Delhi and District Cricket Association said about him, 'He performed well, but the team gave Suyash Sharma more opportunity. Suyash impressed KKR during 2023 IPL. Digvesh made a strong comeback in the Delhi cricket world when Old Delhi 6 coach Vijay Dahiya saw him playing for South Delhi Superstars during the DPL session. DPL actually proved to be a change in Digvesh's life. Dahiya has been keeping an eye on him for the last three years. Digvesh is now very close friend of Leg Spinner Suyash Sharma, who is representing the team of Royal Challengers Bangalore. One is from Seemapuri and the other lives in Bhajanpura. Both come from North East Delhi constituency. Both friends also practice together. Both start practicing when found in any ground.

Dahiya, who was again associated with the Lucknow franchise in this session, had personally monitored the 15 -day net session for Digvesh at St. Stephen's College ground before the team's camp. If you ask Dahiya about the merits of Rathi, he does not want to make anything public. He believes that Rathi will cover long distances but should be allowed to focus on his game.
