Aakash Chopra praises SRH batsman after heroics against PBKS, showing how Rahul Tripathi’s stature is rising with time in the IPL 2023. Rahul Tripathi’s ability to handle pressure early on and lead his team to victory was praised by former India opener Aakash Chopra.
Despite pressure from Aakash Chopra on the other end, Rahul Tripathi batted exceptionally well vs. PBKS. Rahul Tripathi’s unbeaten 48-ball 74 helped his team finish the job in 17 12 overs.
With a professional performance, SRH defeated PBKS by an easy eight wickets. Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Rahul Tripathi received praise from former India opener Aakash Chopra for handling early pressure and guiding his team to victory over Punjab Kings.
“Rahul Tripathi’s unbeaten 74-run innings and his 100-run third-wicket partnership with captain Aiden Markram (37 not out), over Punjab Kings, were noteworthy performances.”
In the prior game at the Lucknow stadium, he had pitched a very clumsy inning that resulted in 34 runs being scored. However, occasionally you have to play these dreadful innings in order to get back in shape. Today, Lucknow’s diligence paid off, according to Chopra, who was speaking on JioCinema.
Rahul Chahar, a leg-spinner, returned to bowl Mayank Agarwal out for a 20-ball 21 in the ninth over after being hit for six by Tripathi.
After helping SRH reach 50 and hitting two straight fours off Chahar, Tripathi then hit three straight boundaries off left-arm spinner Harpreet Brar to keep his team in the match.
After that, Tripathi and captain Aiden Markram added fifty runs to their partnership at the start of the 14th over, with SRH needing 49 runs in 42 balls.
By hitting Rathee for 21 runs and reducing the deficit to 26 runs in the final five overs, Tripathi and Markram then nearly brought the game into their team’s favour.
He scored runs last season as well, but this year he has an Indian cap on. As an Indian player with international experience, he has secured a promotion, and this responsibility fits him, according to Chopra.
