In that time, Rising Pune Supergiant lost Ajinkya Rahane and captain Steve Smith had walked into the middle. But Kolkata kept taking wickets at regular intervals and, had the target they had set been even 10 runs more than 156, Kolkata would have won this match. Tripathi was dismissed just seven runs short of his century in the penultimate over but he left the two remaining batsmen with a comfortable job.
