Impact is what the team needs, and his masterpiece item is Impact; Tripathi cleared the stigma
In the T20 format, the impact of a player’s innings on the team is not small. Thirty or forty runs off a few balls is much better than scoring a half-century or a century straight off a lot of balls. This kind of aggressive batting is the basis of T20.
IPL sensation Rahul Tripathi has made such an impact in only his second international match. Tripathi brought out his masterpiece hard hitting in the last match of the India-Sri Lanka series.
Tripathi, who made his debut in the second match of the series, could not do much with the bat in that game. But in the crucial series decider match, the star has changed that stigma.
In the third match of the series, the player scored 35 runs from 16 balls. Tripathi’s brilliant innings consisted of five fours and two sixes. The player scored runs at a strike rate of 218.75.
Tripathi’s return was finally caught by Dilshan Madhushanka off Chamika Karunaratne.
Along with Tripathi, Shubman Gill also settled the complaints of the fans. Gill, who was a complete failure in the first two matches, was also crushed. The player scored 46 runs from 36 balls including two fours and three sixes.
That’s the end of the powerplay with #TeamIndia on 53/2.

Apart from them, it was the impossible firework of superstar Suryakumar Yadav that brought India to the top. Sky made waves by scoring the first century by an Indian player in 2023.
