Rahul Tripathi shines as Sunrisers Hyderabad break chasing jinx in IPL 2024

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2024 have broken their chasing jinx with a stellar performance led by Rahul Tripathi.

Despite the absence of stars Aiden Markram and Henrich Klaasen, SRH has been struggling to chase targets effectively this season.

The team had only managed to chase over 200 once before their recent match against Punjab Kings.

Scenarios reminiscent of South Africa’s struggles in the World Cup can be seen in SRH’s previous performances, raising doubts on their chasing capabilities.

Travis Head‘s early dismissal in the match against Punjab opened the opportunity for Tripathi, who seized the moment with aggressive strokeplay.

Tripathi played a crucial role in shifting the momentum towards SRH’s favor, showcasing his skills in a rapid innings.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings had set daunting targets earlier in the season, which SRH failed to chase down.

However, Tripathi’s fearless approach, coupled with Abhishek Sharma’s explosive batting, changed the narrative for SRH.

Abhishek Sharma’s consistent hitting and Tripathi’s stability in the middle order provided SRH with a much-needed batting boost.

The partnership between Tripathi and Abhishek Sharma was instrumental in guiding SRH to their best chase of IPL 2024.

With this win, SRH have proven that they can excel in chasing big totals, setting a positive tone for the upcoming playoffs.
