IPL 2017 Final: Looking forward to play with same spirit against Mumbai Indians (MI), says Rahul Tripathi

Having already qualified for the final, Steven Smith-led Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) would now turn their full on attention towards former champions Mumbai Indians (MI), as they get set to face them as their last hurdle in order to lay their hands on the coveted trophy, when they play the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday. Meanwhile, RPS’s newest batting sensation Rahul Tripathi has described his experience with his side, and qualifying for the final as a ‘dream experience’. Tripathi, who was although unsuccessful in scoring during Qualifier 1 of IPL 2017 playoffs against this very side, said that he would bounce back in the final.

“For me it is just a dream experience and I am extremely thrilled to play with and against world class players. It’s been a pleasure to train and learn under the guidance of top notch players like Steve Smith and MS Dhoni. The journey till here has been exhilarating and I look forward to play with the same spirit in the final. My biggest motivation post a loss is to train and practice hard enough to erase the loss by winning the next match. Also, I strongly believe that sometimes losses prove to be a stepping stone to success,” he said.

Speaking on his health and fitness, he said, “Eating healthy and exercising is the best way for an athlete to stay fit and perform at his/her best. It is important for a sportsperson to choose the right nutrients to build muscle and select the right food to help repair injuries. Protein and fibre are essential to include in a sportsperson’s diet.”

“In addition to wholesome meals, healthy snacking is also a great choice to ensure your body get the right amount of supplements throughout the day. ‘Too Yumm!’ is healthy alternatives that gives a boost and also the required energy to sustain long hours of hard work. If you maintain a healthy diet and mostly importantly believe in yourself, you can conquer the game,” he concluded.
