#2 Rahul Tripathi’s promise
Earlier in the season, Rahul Tripathi’s 41-ball 59 got Rising Pune Supergiant off to a terrific start and kept them in cruise control as they chased the 177-run target set by Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday. Tripathi took on the leading role out in the middle as he hammered the Hyderabad bowlers to all corners of the park.
The 26-year old, who is playing his first IPL, had got a few good starts in the league already but could not convert them into big scores, getting dismissed with rash shots.His dismissal against the Mumbai Indians was similar to that as he played a rash shot which was a comfortable catch for Kieron Pollard. But his 30-ball 45 gave a brisk start to Pune’s total of 160.
