Rahul Tripathi’s unbeaten knock

While other fellow batsmen were struggling, RR opener Rahul Tripathi played a responsible knock. He completed his first half-century in this IPL season in 38 balls and stretched the innings for further. He played till the end of the innings as he was not out on 80 runs off 58 balls with 5 fours and 3 sixes.

His knock provided the stable moment during the hosts’ innings and RR’s victory was unthinkable without his knock.
