Rahul Tewatia from Rajasthan Royals argues with David Warner.
Rahul Tewatia always had the conviction that he can take the game deep during tough chases and win it for his team, something he did for the second time in this edition of the Indian Premier League.
Tewatia helped the Royals to a five-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad with a 45-of-28-ball that failed to break their four-game IPL losing streak.

Tewatia recently hit five sixes on a Sheldon Cottrell one during a previous game against Kings XI Punjab, which catapulted him to national fame.
“The wickets were falling, so I just wanted to hold onto one end and wait for the limit balls. I knew that if I kept my confidence in myself and took it deeply, I could do it, ”Tewatia said in the post-match presentation.

“I told Riyan (Parag) that the wicket was playing slow and the deeper we took it, the better our chances were, even if we need 50 of the last 4 because we have the shots,” added Tewatia, who was awarded as the man of the match .
Speaking about the talk he had with Riyan Parag, who was also not left out in ’42, in the middle, Tewatia said: “Riyan asked me what to do. I told him to respect good balls and take singles, and I could take the attack.
“Against Rashid, I saw the opportunity to play the reverse sweep and I took it.”
He said he was enjoying the role that the team leadership gave him.
“This was the role assigned to me and it was clear for a long time. I was hitting well for a while and I was confident and I was hitting them well when we played practice games. So it’s easy when you know your role. “
When asked about an incident involving SRH bowler Khaleel Ahmed, he said: “It’s no big deal, they just took us in the heat of the moment.”

Royals captain Steve Smith praised Tewatia and “young man” Parag for showing great composure.
“I don’t think it was the easiest gate and the limits of the squares are also quite large. What great composure from Parag. Proud to be able to come back and score some runs, ”said the Australian star hitter.
“Obviously, Stokesy didn’t come out tonight. Our top four didn’t fire, but today we showed our depth. With Stokesy back, he brings us a good balance. It was impressive, right? It just thrives in pressure situations. You bring his bowling and his fielding and he’s a great player for us. “
SRH captain David Warner admitted that his team did not play their best.
“… We didn’t execute badly, but some of the decisions at the top of the brand weren’t there. And we probably threw the wrong ball at the wrong time, ”he said.
“But there are a lot of positives coming out and we’ll take it to the next game. We have to work as these fields get tired, how to hit in the first 6 and in the middle, and then evaluate with our bowling pin. “
When asked why he decided to keep spinner Rashid Khan longer, Warner said: “We have done it in the past, we have retained him and we have tried to cancel some runs, but these two (Tewatia and Parag) played exceptionally well. “
