Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Rahul Tewatia has become a household name among cricket fans after playing a jaw-dropping knock against Kings XI Punjab in Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. Chasing a mountain of 224 for victory, the southpaw started slowly but smashed five sixes in the 18th over, turning the tide in his side’s favour and winning the game. Sheldon Cottrell became the victim of Tewatia ruthless hitting, and the Caribbean pacer will undoubtedly want to forget that night. However, the all-rounder will cherish his heroics for a long time. After taking Cottrell to the cleaners in Sharjah, Tewatia imitated the bowler’s iconic salute celebration in the dressing room. Rahul Tewatia IPL 2020 Price, Salary Details.

However, he had no idea what the uncapped Indian player had in his arsenal. Tewatia smashed him to different parts of the ground and pushed KXIP out of the contest.
