With Riyan parag (42 without 26 balls), Tewatia won the ‘Royals’ style game keeping Steve Smith’s men in the mix after they were down to 78-for-5 in 12 overs.
With two two-ball necessary, Parag hit Khaleel Ahmed for a six over extra cover and broke into an impromptu ‘Bihu jig’. They added 85 runs for the sixth wicket in eight overs when their illustrious international stars were flattered to cheat.
Tewatia brought back memories of the Sharjah night, but this time it was Rashid Khan who was on the receiving end in 18th when the southpaw hit three consecutive limits.
What a way to win the game. A MAXIMUM by Riyan Parag when @rajasthanroyals beat #SRH by 5 wickets. This has been abs… https://t.co/oqm3Yr79QO

With a required 22 of two overs, Tewatia lunged at T Natarajan, who lost his length trying to pitch to the Yorkers, for a four and a six on the short thin leg that turned the game in favor of the Royals.
The strange decision to send comeback Ben Stokes (5) in the order didn’t work out very well as the slowness of the track brought him in. Left arm pacing Khaleel caused one to rise off the stump, but the ball came late when Stokes, bracing himself for a jerk, put it on his stumps.
Steve Smith (5) risked Vijay Shankar’s arm deep but failed in the process, while Jos Buttler (16) received a delivery from Khaleel who entered after his fingers were rolled. The inside lead was taken by a nosedive Jonny Bairstow, as the Royals dropped to 26-for-3 inside Powerplay.
Earlier, Manish pandey it hit an impressive half century, but the Rajasthan Royals restricted Sunrisers Hyderabad to 158 for 4 in stipulated overs.

With increasingly slow pitches and increasingly difficult hitting, Pandey struggled initially, but finished with two fours and three sixes on his 54 of 44 balls.
He had a 73-of-10 association for the second wicket with skipper David Warner (48 of 38 balls), who also looked irritable and struggled to match.
Kane Williamson (22 not out of 12 balls) showed his class briefly at the end, including a one-handed six in a row against Royals best pitcher Jofra Archer (1/25 in 4 overs) and finished with another in the final installment. of the penultimate new.
Young Priyam Garg (15 of 8 balls) also made a valuable little contribution in the late inning overs.
It was one of the best days for Jaydev Unadkat (1/31 in 4 overs) as his slower delivery variation caused hitters some problems with only 26 runs coming out of Powerplay.
In total, the Rajasthan bowlers achieved 42 point balls, which is seven overs without a run being scored.
Bairstow (16 of 19 balls) and Warner couldn’t get the ball out of the box and the harder they hit, the less distance it traveled.
Finally, Bairstow broke the shackles with a six from Kartik Tyagi, but in the next installment, Sanju Samson took it brilliantly in deep.
Pandey and Warner stabilized the ship by hitting the occasional sixes. Pandey’s six in a row off Shreyas Gopal’s thrown delivery was a magnificent shot.
In fact, Sunrisers hitters found it easier to hit six, nine total than four (just six) during their innings.
