Tripathi was given the crucial role of opening the innings while the CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad demoted himself to number three in the ongoing IPL 2025. However, Tripathi badly failed to make an impact, as he registered dismal single-digit scores of 2 and 5 in the first two matches.

I'm crystal clear that Rahul Tripathi should not be picked in the XI: Harbhajan Singh
Harbhajan Singh said on his YouTube channel, “Chennai lost back-to-back matches. They are making too many mistakes. First, they are playing Rahul Rahul Tripathi as an opener. Tripathi is shaking his body more but not scoring runs.
The commentator also criticized CSK’s move to promote Tripathi over Gaikwad. He believes that Gaikwad is a natural opener and should not bat at number three ahead of their next IPL 2025 clash against Delhi Capitals on April 5 at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Harbhajan added, “Ruturaj Gaikwad, who is a proper opener, has sacrificed himself at number 3 for Tripathi. The opening pair has always been a big strength for Chennai Super Kings, be it Matthew Hayden, Dwayne Smith, Brendon McCullum, or even Devon Conway.”
