Digvesh Rathi, aka Bobby, is IPL's latest star

Financial Express Hyderabad

April 16, 2025

DHARMENDER, AN ASSISTANT at a building-material shop, named his first two sons — what else, Sunny and Bobby. Later, he had a third one. Pleased, he called him Happy.

- NIHAL KOSHIE

Earlier this month, in his modest house, in one of the many buildings standing cheek by jowl in a bylane of Saboli in Northeast Delhi, Dharmender's life turned into a feel-good sports movie.

'Bobby', who the world knows as Digvesh Rathi, has been this IPL season's breakout spinner. Picked by Lucknow Super Giants for ₹30 lakh, the 25-year-old mystery spinner got the Player of the Match award for his figures of 1/21 in a high-scoring game against Mumbai Indians, in just his fourth game of his debut IPL season. That night, when Bobby was being interviewed, Dharmender shed tears, older brother Sunny had a lump in his throat and mother Manju was in the puja room.
