IPL Auction 2020: 5 uncapped players who might get released

#4 Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi had an abject IPL 2019 with Rajasthan Royals.

Rahul Tripathi played exceptionally well for the now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiants. Having played 14 games in IPL 2017, he notched-up 391 runs at an average of 27.90 and an exceptional strike-rate of 146.44. Based on his exceptional display in IPL 2017, Rajasthan Royals acquired him for a hefty price of INR 3.4 crore in IPL 2018 and he had a decent run in that edition of the tournament.

Nonetheless, he failed to formulate similar kinds of performances in IPL 2019. Tripathi featured in eight games for the Royals while amassing 141 runs at an average of 23.50 and a low strike-rate of 119.49.

Considering Rahul's mediocre performances in the previous edition of IPL, the RR management will look for some better options to fill in their middle-order and cast him out prior to the auction.
