IPL 2022: Ravi Shastri ‘SUPER IMPRESSED’ with Rahul Tripathi, says ‘he is not very far from India Call-UP’
IPL 2022: Why Ravi Shastri thinks Tripathi deserves India call-up?
While Speaking to ESPNcricinfo, Shastri stated that the SRH star is right in the mix for a potential India debut due to his fearless mentality. “If someone doesn’t get up from the bench or gets up from the wrong side of the bed and gets injured, this guy can be slotted in straight away. He can go at No. 3 or 4, he’s a dangerous player, and should be in the mix. If he’s performing season after season, I’m sure the selectors will be watching that very, very closely and giving him his due.”

Shastri feels Tripathi is very consistent and is not overawed by any situation whatsoever. “No question about that,” Shastri said. “It’s not that one swallow that makes summer, he’s been around for a bit and what I like about his game is his fearlessness, and he’s got a tag of being a known quantity and someone the opposition wants to get out quickly. Irrespective of that, he comes out and plays his game and his shot-making ability, the all-around game that he has, he’s not overawed by any opposition or by any bowler, which is great to see.”
