RAHUL TRIPATHI

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Rahul Tripathi was a name that was many were sure of being picked in the Indian squad for the home 5-match T20I series against South Africa, however, he was not named in the 18-member squad much to the chagrin of many.

He has been a revelation at the no.3 spot for SRH and though they couldn’t make it into the playoffs, Tripathi was a bright spot for them.

He made 413 runs with 3 fifties and the best score of 76 at an average of 37.54 and a strike rate of 158.23. He didn’t let the poor form of captain Kane Williamson come in the way of quick scoring that was needed by the SRH team in powerplays and many felt that he should have been opening the innings.

Tripathi might do that for India as there is a chance that he might be picked for the Ireland T20Is.
