Wanindu Hasaranga removes Rahul Tripathi
Hasaranga has received a lot of backing from the Rajasthan Royals team management since joining the team. He has been promoted to bat above Shimron Hetmyer but he has failed to repay the faith of the management.
With the ball also, he has not looked very threatening, but he provided a massive breakthrough for his team by dismissing Rahul Tripathi in the match against CSK.
On the first ball of the 8th over, Hasaranga bowled a shortish delivery to Rahul Tripathi on off-stump. Tripathi looked to pull it away, but the lack of pace meant that he played it towards the deep mid-wicket where Shimron Hetmyer took a sharp catch.
Hasaranga was delighted after dismissing Rahul Tripathi for 19-ball 23, and he was seen doing a celebration inspired by the movie, ‘Pushpa: The Rise.’ He did the gesture which was made popular by Allu Arjun’s Pushpa Raj character. Notably, Hasaranga did the same celebration two more times after dismissing Shivam Dube and Vijay Shankar.
