The opening batsman, who hails from Ranchi, took everyone by surprise in the last season, accumulating 391 runs at a zippy rate of 146.44 for Rising Pune Supergiants.

Rahul Tripathi got the much-deserved spotlight by displaying his strength of snatching the momentum in the powerplay itself, thereby making it leisurely for the rest to come.

The 27-year-old was signed by Rajasthan Royals for ₹ 3.4 crores, who is set to play under his RPS captain Steve Smith along with his former teammates including Ben Stokes, Ajinkya Rahane, Jaydev Unadkat and Ankit Sharma.
