The same happened with LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi, whose ‘notebook’ celebration right at the batter’s face didn’t sit well with the BCCI, leading to him receiving a hefty fine along with two demerit points.

The spinner repeated the celebration a second time during another game, this time on the ground. The BCCI didn’t let go of this, penalising him for the second time as well.
