Former pacers Ian Bishop, Irfan Pathan and retired wicket-keeper batter Parthiv Patel have been delighted after Rahul Tripathi was picked to play for India within the upcoming two-match T20I collection towards Ireland. Tripathi has been ready within the wings for fairly a while after performing effectively for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) within the Indian Premier League (IPL).
After not being picked for the continuing five-match T20I collection towards South Africa, the Indian selectors confronted flak for not choosing the right-handed batter. After his title was included for the 20-over video games, Bishop, Pathan and Parthiv congratulated him.
Bishop took to Twitter and wrote, “So Happy for Rahul Tripathi man. Well deserved. Hope Samson makes the best use of this outing. Something special about his batting.”
