Rahul Tewatia scored 31 balls 53 while Rajasthan Royals completed an incredible victory.
Rahul Tewatia was a central figure in one of the most dramatic chases in IPL history at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The 27-year-old Haryana’s off-roader managed 8 runs of 19 balls while the turbocharged chase of the Rajasthan Royals appeared to have lost steam.
Of his next 12 deliveries, he hit seven sixes and scored 45 runs as the Royals came back from the brink to complete the most successful run chase in IPL history. Twitter praised the left-hander’s incredible comeback.
The history of Tewatia will remain forever. What a crazy spin. I love human triumph. Sport is a great teacher, we can rule someone out, but we can’t erase it! Wow. Very happy with what we could see. Incredible lesson for life.

#Tewatia’s outstanding comeback was not easy for him, poor choice of lengths certainly helped him #welldone #IPLinUAE

Tewatia’s entries have been the plot of a Rocky movie.
