KKR vs SRH | Twitter erupts over the Rahul Tripathi-Abdul Samad blunder culminating in Tripathi’s dismissal
Confusions are part and parcel of any game, but one must be especially cautious during a Qualifier match. Such was the scene in Qualifier 1 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad, where a mix-up between Rahul Tripathi and Abdul Samad led to Tripathi's unfortunate dismissal.
On the second ball of the 14th over, Sunil Narine bowled a back-of-a-length delivery to Samad, who hit it towards backward point. Samad immediately ran for a single as soon as he saw Tripathi running from the other end. However, as Samad sprinted towards the other end, Tripathi was ball-watching and slowed down. Amidst this, Andre Russell quickly picked up the ball and threw it to KKR wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Tripathi, hesitating midway and realizing the accuracy of Russell’s throw, decided not to complete the run, resulting in a run-out.
The 33-year-old Maharashtra batter looked dejected as he walked off the field, unable to convert his innings into a higher score. He was so disheartened by his dismissal that he didn't return to the pavilion but instead sat on the staircase leading to it, his head bowed in disappointment. The Twitterverse empathized with Tripathi and praised his splendid innings despite the unfortunate end.
