IPL 2026: This Chit Business Should Be Banned, Says Rayudu As He Criticises Akash Singh’s Celebration

By IANS News May 16, 2026 • 17:04 PM View: 264

Lucknow Super Giants: Former India batter Ambati Rayudu has strongly criticised Akash Singh’s 'chit celebration' during Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, saying such celebrations should be banned.

Akash, who starred with figures of 3-26, celebrated each wicket by pulling out a small chit from his pocket and showing it to the cameras. The note reportedly read: “#Akkionfire – Akash knows how to take wickets in a T20 game.”

The chit celebration has become a new trend in IPL 2026, and several players, including Urvil Patel and Raghu Sharma, have celebrated milestones by bringing out chits with a message.
