From Disaster To Masterclass: Twitter Is Hailing Tewatia’s Incredible Innings Against KXIP

The Indian Premier League always promises a thriller or the other in the cards. Last night’s match against Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab was nothing short of that. Thanks to the Rajasthan all-rounder Rahul Tewatia’s stormy batting stint towards the end of the game.

The 28-year-old player was trolled mercilessly in the first innings when Kings XI Punjab reached a mammoth total above 200 runs with Mayank Agarwal hitting a quick century. However, they were silenced in the second innings when Tewatia stepped onto the crease to bat.

At first, he struggled to get the ball on the bat considering he just had 8 runs in 19 balls. By then, it was slowly becoming evident that Punjab might take the game away despite Sanju Samson and Steve Smith’s stellar performances. However, when Sheldon Cottrell came about to bowl, tables were turned when Tewatia hit the balls for five sixes in that over! With around 30 runs in that over, Rajasthan easily cruised towards victory and completing the highest ever run chase in the tournament’s history.
