Tewatia makes a ‘graceful’ comeback
Speaking of his opening performance, Rahul Tewatia commented that they were the ‘worst first 20 balls’ he has ever played. The hitting rover moved up the order in the high-octane chase; however, Tewatia found it difficult to go big initially and timed his shots frequently.
After a series of mistakes at first, Tewatia announced her arrival in style while hitting Sheldon Cottrell deliveries. The off-roader also recorded its 30-issue half-century and played an instrumental cameo to guide Rajasthan past the line.
