Uncapped Indian batter Rahul Tripathi received his maiden call-up to the national team ahead of the Men in Blue’s away series against the Ireland cricket team. Tripathi had been performing consistently for the franchises that he represented in the Indian Premier League.

After doing well for Rising Pune Supergiant in 2017, he continued his fine form for the Kolkata Knight Riders and SunRisers Hyderabad. It did not matter where he batted, but Tripathi always scored runs for his teams. Many fans were disappointed when the selectors did not pick Tripathi in the squad for the ongoing series against the South African cricket team.

But Tripathi has been picked for the upcoming two T20I matches against the Ireland cricket team. If he impresses in that series, he could be retained in the squad for the T20I series against the England cricket team and the West Indies cricket team.

“It is a very big opportunity, a dream come true (moment) and (I) appreciate (it). I am very happy that the selectors and everybody believed in me and whatever hard-work I have put in, I have got the rewards. And hopefully, if I get an opportunity to play, I will try and give my best.”

The series between the Indian cricket team and the Ireland cricket team will get underway on June 24. The two-match T20I series between the two nations will culminate on June 26. Both matches will happen in Dublin. It will be interesting to see how the Men in Blue perform. All eyes will be on Rahul Tripathi if he gets his debut cap.
