Rahul Tripathi has finally earned his maiden call-up to the Indian ODI side, and he is likely to be played at the number three position for India. The right-hander who was quite impressive in the IPL 2022 this year for the Sunrisers Hyderabad did make the Indian squad for the Ireland T20Is but did not make his debut there.
However, he is expected to get a go in the upcoming series, with Ruturaj Gaikwad being the only other batter in the series. Also, Tripathi has played at the number three position for his IPL franchise Sunrisers and is expected to play the same role for India in the 50-over format.
Tripathi has got a wide range of shots in his armoury, and he can also contribute with a medium pace. With an average of 31 in 43 List A games at a strike rate of 86.35, Tripathi has deserved his call-up, and this will be a great opportunity for him to express himself as an international batter.
