The first qualifier match of IPL 2024 is being played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. SRH's batting order flopped badly in this match, but on the other hand, Rahul Tripathi played a brilliant inning of 55 runs on 35 balls in a difficult time for the team. However, his adventurous innings ended with a run out due to which Rahul Tripathi looked completely disappointed.
Rahul Tripathi was broken
This incident happened in the 14th over of Sunrisers Hyderabad's innings. On the second ball of Sunil Narayan's over, Abdul Samad played a cut shot towards point and ran to steal a run. Meanwhile, Andre Russell dived quickly and caught the ball.
On the other side, both the players had gone out to take runs. Rahul Tripathi saw Andre Russell's fielding and stopped in the middle. Russell had thrown the ball towards wicketkeeper R Gurbaz and taking advantage of this, Gurbaz also blew away the stumps without making any mistake. Rahul Tripathi was still standing in the middle of the crease and now he had lost his wicket by being run out.
This is the reason why he was completely broken and looked dejected sitting on the stairs after getting out. He bowed his head and was shedding tears, which clearly reflected his disappointment. Let us tell you that Rahul Tripathi was batting like the last hope of the team. He was set on the field and the team needed a few more runs from him, that is why he looked in pain after getting out like this.
Also know that when Rahul Tripathi was out, the team's score was 121 runs in 13.2 overs and after that the team's batting fell apart like a deck of cards. Sunrisers team could not even play the full 20 overs and were limited to 159 runs in 19.3 overs.
