Police later said that Tania had made a last call to Abhishek Sharma from her mobile phone and upon further investigation, many pictures of Abhishek and Tania were found on her mobile phone and a summons was sent to Abhishek for questioning. According to reports, they were in a relationship and broke up a few months before this incident, after which Abhishek blocked her phone number and other social media accounts. <\/p>\n

Heated exchanges during the game<\/strong><\/h3>\n

He courted controversy when he got into a heated altercation with Digvesh Singh Rathi during a match against Lucknow Super Giants on May 19, 2025. Digvesh Singh Rathi fired him and celebrated with the infamous "laptop celebration” for which he had been punished twice before. The gesture angered Sharma, which led to him returning to the stadium and confronting Rathi. This led to the BCCI and the IPL governing body imposing a 25% match fee penalty on him, while Digvesh was slapped with a 50% match fee penalty and suspended for the next match.<\/p>\n
