Revenge Never Felt Sweeter: Curran’s Lookalike Mocks Rathi After SRH Beat LSG
The world of sports is no stranger to drama and controversy, and the latest addition to this list is an amusing incident involving Australian YouTuber Jake Jeakings, who bears an uncanny resemblance to England all-rounder Sam Curran. In a hilarious video, Jeakings, donning SRH’s jersey, took a subtle dig at LSG spinner Digvesh Rathi after his team defeated LSG on Monday, sending the opponents out of the IPL 2025 playoff race.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows Jeakings mimicking Rathi’s trademark ‘notebook-signing’ celebration, which the spinner is known for after taking a wicket. The Australian YouTuber’s recreation of the celebration is spot on, complete with the same gestures and facial expressions as Rathi. It’s amusing to watch, to say the least.
But the pièce de résistance comes when Jeakings is heard saying, “Hey Digvesh, who is celebrating now? Revenge never felt sweeter.” The comment is a clear reference to SRH’s win over LSG, which not only knocked the opponents out of the playoff race but also denied them a chance to qualify for the next stage.
Rathi, who has been in impressive form for LSG this season, will undoubtedly feel the sting of defeat, and Jeakings’ mocking celebration is likely to add insult to injury. However, it’s worth noting that the Australian YouTuber’s intention was likely to poke fun at Rathi rather than disrespect him. After all, Jeakings has built a reputation for himself as a sports enthusiast and entertainer, and his videos often feature lighthearted and humorous takes on sports-related topics.
Jeakings’ resemblance to Curran has been a topic of discussion in the past, with many fans and pundits alike commenting on the uncanny similarity between the two. The Australian YouTuber has even leveraged his Curran lookalike status to create engaging content for his fans, often dressing up as Curran and reenacting his on-field moments.
In this instance, Jeakings’ lookalike status added an extra layer of humor to his mocking celebration, making it a viral sensation on social media. The video has been viewed millions of times, with fans and followers of both SRH and LSG sharing their reactions and opinions on the incident.
While Rathi and his team will undoubtedly be disappointed with the loss, Jeakings’ lighthearted take on the situation serves as a reminder that, in the world of sports, there’s always room for humor and entertainment. After all, as Jeakings himself said, “Revenge never felt sweeter.”
