CRICKET
Rahul Tripathi received his second call-up for India, but just like the previous occasion against Ireland, Tripathi wasn't selected in the playing XI.
Rahul Tripathi had a stellar IPL 2022 season with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and such was his impact that the 31-year-old received his maiden call-up for India as the Men in Blue were due to tour Ireland. Head coach Rahul Dravid and other regulars were in England at the time when Hardik Pandya-led another Indian contingent flew to Ireland.
Tripathi was part of that squad which played two T20Is in Ireland, but he wasn't included in the playing XI. He was given another lifeline as India's squad for the Zimbabwe tour was announced.
However, during the first ODI, there was no place for Tripathi as KL Rahul led Men in Blue won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Netizens meanwhile were not happy as Tripathi was snubbed yet again, as many users felt he deserved a chance against Zimbabwe.
Here's what netizens said:
3 wicketkeepers in one team and Rahul tripathi again ignored

Feel very sad for the guy #ZIMvsIND
Really disappointed that @rahultripathi is overlooked once again. No login in having 3 WKs (Rahul, Ishan and Samson). Dont know when will he get a chance to represent the Indian Team !! #ZIMvIND #RahulTripathi

@BCCI where is rahul tripathi? I can not see his name in the playing 11. He is on TOURIST VISA only?

Meanwhile, KL Rahul returned to lead the Indian side after an injury and covid-enforced break. Deepak Chahar also made his return after a lengthy injury layoff, while Shubman Gill, Sanju Samson, and Ishan Kishan all started ahead of Tripathi.
Talking about the 1st ODI, Zimbabwe had scored 17 runs without any loss of wickets, with Innocent Kaia and Tadiwanashe Marumani looking to give the hosts a strong start.
