Rahul Tripathi

He also plays for Maharashtra in domestic cricket and Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

His cricket training, initiated at age 9, in Lucknow, was temporarily halted when his father was assigned to Srinagar as part of Operation Parakram.

Enrolled in Pune's Deccan Gymkhana on 20 September 2003, he trained under the mentorship of Kedar Joglekar and Hemant Athalye, establishing this as his cricket alma mater.

Achieving notable success in junior cricket, he garnered attention with three consecutive centuries at the U-19 level.

Beyond cricket, he excelled academically, completing his Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Sri Parashurambhau Mahavidyalay.
