Rahul Tripathi was left distraught after a horrible mix-up with Abdul Samad led to his dismissal in the all-important first Qualifier between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Tripathi had batted brilliantly amid a rare batting failure for SRH, scoring a fifty, but a lack of communication led to a disastrous run-out, cutting short an innings that could make a difference in the outcome.
Tripathi left the scene shattered and, in a heartbreaking sight, sat alone on the staircase, his head buried. Samad was full of remorse as well, for he knew that could have turned out a whole lot different. Tripathi had tapped the ball wide of the fielder at point, but Andre Russell sprinted, grabbed it and returned a bullet throw to the keeper. Samad took off, and Tripathi responded but in for some reason, realised the run wasn’t on and stopped mid-way. Samad eventually made the crease at the non-striker, but SRH were dealt their biggest blow of the evening.
