'Tewatia Morphed Into MSD': Reactions To Rahul Tewatia's Remarkable Turnaround
A hard-hitting all-rounder from Haryana, Rahul Tweatia's coming from behind knock scripts one of the most dramatic of chases in the history of the Indian Premier League at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium against Kings XI Punjab.
Scoring just 8 off the first 19 balls in a chase of 224, Tewatia had started feeling the heat before things took a dramatic turnaround for him and off his next 12 deliveries, he hit seven sixes and scored 45 runs and helped Rajasthan Royals to complete the highest-successful run chase in IPL history.
Twitter lauded the southpaw's remarkable turnaround.
What an amazing game of cricket. So many things to talk about. Firstly - what courage and heart shown from Tewatia, especially after his poor start with the bat, well done young man-awesome ! My man @IamSanjuSamson once again-pure class ! Great win @rajasthanroyals wow wow wow !

What an incredible game of cricket.....Rahul Tewatia, you’ve shown all of us that miracles do happen. Five sixes in an over against an International fast-bowler. Especially after the struggle. A Fairy tale. #RRvKXIP

The Tewatia story will stay forever. What an insane turn around. I love human triumph. Sport is such a great teacher, we can write someone off but we can’t erase them! Wow. So happy with what we got to see. Incredible lesson for life.

That was an unbelievable finish! One thing this game taught me was that we can never give up however bad the situation is in life! Tewatia started like a no 11 batsman but ended like a no.1 champ, unbelievable batting by @IamSanjuSamson and Tewatia! #IPL2020 #RRvKXIP
