IPL 2018, RR vs RCB: Hits and Misses from the match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore

Modified May 20, 2018 01:55 IST

The Big Two couldn't get RCB over the line

#1 Hit: Rahul Tripathi

Tripathi made the most of his opportunity as an opener

The right-handed batsman was given an opportunity at the top of the order for the second consecutive time, and this time around, he grabbed it with both hands.

Scoring an unbeaten 80 with a strike rate of 140, he made a statement to the RR management and his skipper, advocating for his place as the opener of the side.

It was his knock that powered RR to a fighting total. Tripathi took up the mantle of being the anchor of the innings, doing it with a lot of class, panache, and persistence.

If RR manage to make it to the playoffs tomorrow, they must retain him at the top of the order, so as to get the best out of his willow.
