Blessed To Have Spent Time With Him: Rahul Tripathi Credits Dhoni For His IPL Success
Indian Premier League: Indian cricketer Rahul Tripathi has revealed how some advice from his former captain MS Dhoni ahead of his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut helped him back in 2017. Tripathi said Dhoni told him not to try anything extra and to play his natural game. Tripathi made his IPL debut during the tenth season of the league, where he was a part of the Rising Pune Supergiants, along with Dhoni. Ahead of his first match for the franchise, the former India captain helped Tripathi calm down his nerves.
"Two days before I was going to play my first match, I was observing him in the dressing room. He called me and told me not to try or think about anything extra and asked me to play the way I was playing while training. Given that this advice came from a cricketer of that stature and the fact that I was going to play my debut match, it gave me a lot of confidence. It really calmed my nerves," Tripathi said on the House of Glory podcast.
“I am blessed to have gotten the time to spend with him. It’s the dream of many people in the cricket world to share experiences with him and play alongside him. And by being with him, I have seen that he keeps it simple,” he further added.
