Rahul Tripathi’s amazing in fielding
Even though Rahul Tripathi is trolled for batting, he has done wonders in fielding. Chennai Super Kings are competing with Lucknow Super Kings. At the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpai Ekana Cricket Stadium of Lucknow, Rahul Tripathi showed what he can do in fielding. In the first over, Aiden Markram wanted to play in the leg side off Khalil Ahmed. The ball went to the off side with the outer edge of the bat.
Rahul Tripathi was fielding inside the circle at the cover point. The ball was far behind him. He started running upside down. He caught the catch with both hands. Seeing this catch of Rahul, the commentator said that he had run away about 20 to 25 yards (about 18 to 23 meters). It is also Rahul’s 100th match in the IPL.
Fielding has been bad yet
Eden Markram was running in magnificent form. He had fifty in both the last two matches. But he was dismissed for just 6 runs in this match. The fielding of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2025 has been very poor. The team’s fielders have dropped catch in each match. Ruturaj Gaikwad had explained the reason for the defeat after a match to the poor fielding. In the last match against KKR, the team’s fielders dropped two catches. CSK had left 5 catches against Punjab.
