Mandeep Singh, a seasoned player in Indian domestic cricket, has left Tripura. His stint with the team was short lived as he only played for a year, during the 2024-25 season.
During that season, Mandeep was the captain of Tripura in all formats. He played 6 Ranji Trophy matches, 6 Vijay Hazare Trophy matches and 7 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy matches. Though Tripura didn’t make it to the knockout stage in any of these tournaments, Mandeep had a good individual season.
In Ranji Trophy, he scored 124* and had 5 scores above 50. He got 50+ in all his matches. He had 3 fifties in Vijay Hazare Trophy, his highest being 94 against Bengal. In Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, the main domestic T20 tournament, he added 2 more scores above 50.

Mandeep moved to Tripura in 2024 after playing 15 years for Punjab. With Punjab, he won the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in 2023-24. That was a big deal as it was the team’s first title in that tournament in 30 years. It’s not clear yet which team Mandeep will join for 2025-26 season.
In other news, Indian batter Hanuma Vihari is moving from Andhra to Tripura for next season. Andhra CA has given the 31-year-old a No-Objection Certificate, which allows him to make the move. Vihari has played 16 Tests for India and 131 First-Class matches. But he hasn’t been given the captaincy of Tripura yet.
Tripura will be playing in Elite division of both red and white ball cricket in 2025-26. They start their season with a Ranji Trophy match against Services on October 15. So the team and its fans are looking forward to that match.
