IPL 2018, KKR vs RR: 3 thing you might have missed 

#2 Promotion for Tripathi

Pushed down the order to accommodate D'Arcy Short at the opener's slot, Rahul Tripathi batted way down to his liking until this match, was promoted ahead of Ben Stokes by Rajasthan Royal's think tank at No 4. There were rumors of Rahul Tripathi returning to his favorite spot where he plundered 400 runs for Pune last year, with Heinrich Klassen playing ahead of D'Arcy Short in the middle order. But they persisted with the same winning team and altered their batting order which gave mixed results in the end.

Rahul Tripathi managed only 15 runs off 11 deliveries despite looking comfortable against the spinners scoring a couple of boundaries.
