After the quick dismissal of Ishant Kishan, in the third T20I against New Zealand, aggressive opener Rahul Tripathi took charge with his explosive batting. He hit four boundaries and three sixes in his 22-ball stay at the crease, scoring 44 runs with a strike rate of 200. He was just six runs away from his first international half-century, but made a poor shot in his eagerness to increase the run rate, resulting in a boundary catch for Ish Sodhi. Tripathi appeared visibly upset with himself after the dismissal.
Actually, Indian pacer Ish Sodhi was bowling the 9th over. Rahul Tripathi was on strike. Tripathi saw a short ball and tried to sit and hit it over the leg side for 6 runs. However, he couldn’t time the ball properly and the ball didn’t go over the boundary. In such a situation, wicketkeeper Lockie Ferguson took an easy catch. After that, Rahul was looking at himself in frustration.
He swung the bat strongly in the air, then hit it on the ground. Then, while grumbling, they also came into view. Meanwhile, a video of their reaction is now going viral on social media.
