Dhawan’s epic goes in vain as Tripathi guides Sunrisers Hyderabad home

A blistering half-century from Rahul Tripathi helped Sunrisers Hyderabad open their account in IPL 2023 on Sunday (April 9) as they beat Punjab Kings by 8 wickets. PBKS skipper Shikhar Dhawan hogged the limelight with an incredible innings on the night against his former franchise, but it still wasn’t enough to pull his side through as they suffered their first loss of the season.
