Tripathi hasn't made his international debut yet, but he is one of the more talented batsmen around, who the selectors might be keeping an eye on for a potential T20I call-up in the future, like his state-mate from Maharashtra, Ruturaj Gaikwad, who made his T20I debut last year after good performances at the domestic and IPL levels. Like most Indian cricketers of this generation, Tripathi too is a big MS Dhoni fan. He shared the dressing room with Dhoni in his maiden IPL season with the Rising Pune Supergiant team (now defunct) in 2017. After RPS, the 31-year-old went on to play for the Rajasthan Royals (2018 and 2019) and then the Kolkata Knight Riders (2020 and 2021). Tripathi will now be plying his trade for the Sunrisers Hyderabad who bought the attacking batsman for a whopping Rs 8.50 crore in the last IPL player auction. Last year (in 2021), Tripathi, while playing for KKR, found himself in a pressure-cooker situation and the Maharashtra cricketer held his nerve to seal the deal for his team. In Qualifier 2, in Sharjah, Kolkata Knight Riders were 123/2 in 16 overs, chasing Delhi Capitals 135/5.
TOI's Sports Guest Editor Shantha Rangaswamy, former India cricket captain & BCCI Apex Council member, says women are still not accorded equal status except at home...Shantha Rangaswamy is a pioneer in more ways than one. She is the first captain of the Indian women's Test team, the first Indian woman to score an international century, the first woman captain to win a Test, the first woman recipient of the Arjuna Award and even the first Indian woman to hit a six in international cricket. She is also not one to mince words, as we found out during a freewheeling interaction after she agreed to be TOI's Guest Editor for the day. Excerpts...How pleasing was the Indian women's team's win over Pakistan the other day?The win was on expected lines. But then any game against Pakistan, in any sport, can be very tense. I'm glad they held their nerve and carved out a very impressive win, thanks mainly to the partnership between Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar. We mustn't ignore the efforts of the bowlers, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Rana. Jhulan, of course, we expect to do well. There were many pluses. There could not have been a better start.
football team was dealt a huge blow on Monday as its talismanic captain Sunil Chhetri was ruled out of the upcoming international friendly matches against Bahrain and Belarus due to injury. The 37-year-old forward had been named among the 38-member probables by coach Igor Stimac for the matches to be played in Manama on March 23 and 26. "I was really looking forward to the two friendlies against Baharain and Belarus and it's a shame I'll be missing out," Chhetri told the All India Football Federation (AIFF) website.
