A video of IPL 2025 breakout star Digvesh Rathi has recently gone viral, with the young pacer scalping five wickets in five consecutive deliveries during a local T20 match earlier this year. The video, from a February match, has reignited buzz around Rathi, who had already turned heads with an impressive debut season in the IPL.

In that local match, Rathi delivered a dream over, dismantling the opposition`s batting lineup by taking five wickets in five balls, four clean bowled and one leg-before-wicket (LBW). He ended the match with staggering figures of seven for 28, underlining his raw talent and wicket-taking ability.

The viral clip even caught the attention of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) owner Sanjiv Goenka, who praised the youngster on social media. “Stumbled upon this clip of Digvesh Rathi taking 5 in 5 in a local T20 game. Just a glimpse of the talent that made him a breakout star for LSG in IPL 2025,” Goenka wrote on X.
