Rahul Tewatia

Gujarat Titans all-rounder Rahul Tewatia produced a show-stopping finish, hitting two sixes off the final ball of the final over to help his team defeat Punjab Kings in dramatic fashion. Gujarat would have needed 13 off 3 balls after David Miller hit the ball straight to bowler Odean Smith, but the West Indian pacer took a shy at the stumps at the non-end, striker’s allowing an extra run and Rahul Tewatia to face the final two balls.

With 12 runs needed for victory, the left-handed batter smashed both of them for six runs, one of which went over the deep midwicket fence and the other over deep long-on, sending Gujarat players into ecstasy.

Tewatia became only the second player, after MS Dhoni, to assist his team in winning the match with two sixes when they needed 12 to win off two. Notably, while playing for the Rising Pune Supergiants, Dhoni finished the game in a similar fashion. Surprisingly, that came against the Punjab franchise, with Axar Patel on the receiving end.

Tewatia’s innings has added to his growing reputation as a finisher, as he famously hit five sixes off Sheldon Cottrell in the 19th over to help Rajasthan Royals chase down a target of over 200 against Punjab Kings at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in IPL 2020.
