International career
Digvesh Singh Rathi (born December 15, 1999) is an Indian cricketer who plays as a leg-break bowler. He represents Delhi in domestic cricket and plays for Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League. Known for his wrist-spin bowling and control in T20 matches, he developed his career through domestic tournaments and franchise cricket.
As of 2026, Rathi has not made his debut for the India national cricket team in any international format. He has not played in Test, One Day International, or Twenty20 International matches, and he has not appeared in ICC tournaments. His international cricket record, therefore, remains empty while he continues to build his career through domestic and league competitions.

Domestic career
Digvesh Rathi developed his domestic cricket career through the Delhi cricket system and regional T20 competitions. He plays as a right-arm leg-break bowler and gained early recognition for wicket-taking ability and variations such as the googly. Performances in local tournaments helped him move into India’s official domestic competitions.
His first major recognition came in 2024 during the Delhi Premier League, where he played for South Delhi Superstarz. In that season, he took 14 wickets in 10 matches, finishing among the leading bowlers of the tournament. One of the most notable moments occurred when he took five wickets in five consecutive deliveries, a rare achievement that attracted attention from cricket followers and talent scouts.
Following those performances, Rathi entered India’s national domestic structure. He made his T20 debut for Delhi on November 29, 2024, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, India’s primary domestic T20 tournament organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. In this competition, he was mainly used as a middle-overs spinner responsible for taking wickets and slowing the scoring rate.
Rathi’s bowling in domestic matches focuses on wrist-spin, pace variation, and attacking lines aimed at breaking partnerships. Although selected mainly for bowling, he can also add occasional runs as a lower-order right-handed batter. His performances in the Delhi Premier League and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy later led to selection in the Indian Premier League, where he joined Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the 2025 season.
