2. Rahul Tripathi
Hailing from Ranchi, Rahul Tripathi, has had the best season so far in his six-year-long IPL career. Tripathi was not a revelation during his first season at Sunrisers Hyderabad but was a batsman destined to do great things during his tenure at the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Rising Pune Supergiant. SRH had a topsy-turvy campaign but Tripathi held the spotlight throughout the season.
The 31-year-old has enough experience to play in the IPL as he is playing in the world’s toughest T20 league since 2017. Tripathi over the years has been making waves with his hard-hitting skills. In his debut season, the right-hander made his presence felt in the IPL when he smashed bowlers all-around the park scoring nearly 400 runs that season.
In 14 matches in IPL 2022, the Ranchi-born cricketer scored 413 runs at a magnificent strike rate of 158.24 which included three fifties. His best performances came against the Mumbai Indians, where he scored 76 off 44 balls at an impressive strike rate of 172.73. Tripathi has consistently been scoring runs at different levels of the game and also, he has become mature enough to play for the country. It is just a matter of time before he will be seen donning the blue jersey.
