he is not a regular 2-overs bowler. can bowl an odd over or two occasionally.

Right arm medium pace which is not easy to hit from word go. He has 13 fc wickets and most of them in dead maharashtra pitches. He can be an useful 2

over bowler. You just need to take a punt. We have found replacement for all past players more or less for india but we unfortunately till today havent found a replacement for Ganguly who used to bowl medium pace and who opened test bowling as well.. 100 odi wickets he had. What will we give today for a player like him in odis.. so tripathi should definitely bowl..

Wasnt aware he bowls medium pace..is he accurate and better than Venky Iyer/Shivam Dubey/Vijay Shankar or like them only..

Even of he bowls 50 percent of the above mentioned he can be used as a buffer. Always good to have options due to injury and in windies abrasive pitches it helps to have a medium pacer.. samuel badris whole career was based on bowling fastish spin as well as dwayne bravos

looks like a tailender v half decent pace.

 

Intent is there but need to back up with some skills at this level

Dropping him after 2 innings will be unfair. Last match it worked. This match didn't.

yeah but maybe should play down the order. Him coming ahead of SKY seems weird.

 

Vs SL also he failed first match and smashed Chamika in 2nd. 

 

Has to look to rotate strike if its not working

No. He works best at top of the order. How many of our batsmen actually take risks during the powerplay overs?

His Technique is worse than Rayudu but as T20 WC is in USA on baseball grounds he can be destructive.  Ball doesn't moves there & hacks like Tripathi are very useful there. 

But needs to calm down a bit he looks too fidgety &nervous.  More than even DK lol

[SRT100]

Tripathi is a hack and doesnt have game nous to adjust his game accordingly.

Another Indian player that will come and go.

its not about ball moving. New ball will move a bit anywhere. 

 

Last match he swiped and missed 5 times

He is like current Jason Roy version...  Glaring weakness but if he comes off will be destructive. 

But Roy has a stable base & doesn't moves around that much like Tripathi.  

A low ceiling player but destructive on conducive conditions. 

His spin play is good as well.  But he isn't half the player Shaw is...  Or even Patidar.  But deserves to play all 3 games. 

He was exposed in tour games with T20 blast teams back during Eng tour tho. 

[vvvslaxman]

Today he looked okay. But too much premeditation like SKY. Wanna be SKY? He has to play normal shots.

Vindicated yet again.

BUMP!!

[Austin 3:!6]

Sorry he dosen't belong in international cricket. Few lusty blows on a flat deck against hapless bowlers means nothing.

 

Proper Hack

So you want classy, talented players like KL Rahul.
