Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best batters in the T20 format at present. The 'Supla' shot that he hits is famous in the cricketing fraternity. However, in the ongoing match between RR and CSK, Rahul Tripathi bough his version of the shot as he put Jofra Archer out of the stands through the square leg region.

Rahul Tripathi Hits Jofra Archer For A Maximum


Jofra Archer bowled a good length delivery at the off and middle stump line. Rahul Tripathi shuffled across the line and swatted the bowler over the stands for a maximum. The six was followed by a four and it gave a momentum to a CSK innings that was going very slow by that stage.

Nitish Rana Set Up The Foundation For The Royals

Notably, Rajasthan Royals batted first in the game after Ruturaj Gaikwad won the toss and put them to bat. The Royals lost Yashasvi Jaiswal early but Nitish Rana gave them a foundation to build on. Based on the fiery knock of 81 from 36 deliveries by Rana, the Royals went on to score 182 for 9 at the end of the 20 overs.

In the chase, CSK lost their in-form batter, Rachin Ravindra early and received a massive set back. However, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rahul Tripathi tried to play out the lethal opening spell of Jofra Archer. Although the duo survived the spell, Tripathi fell after the powerplay to Wanindu Hasaranga.
