A regular performer for Haryana in the domestic Team and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, Rahul Tewatia got a maiden call from Team India for the upcoming T20I series against England on Saturday.
Speaking to ANI, Tewatia reckoned that his grilling experience that he gained while playing for Haryana made him a better player.
“Imagine fighting it out for a place in the team which has legends like Amit Mishra bhai. Then you had Jayant Yadav, and Yuzvendra Chahal has also represented the state team whenever he has not been busy playing for India. The level of competition for spinners in the Haryana team is one of the toughest I would say. Finding a place and performing for Haryana not only gave me confidence but also helped me back my skills,” he explained.
Tewatia acknowledged Anirudh sir’s efforts, says, ‘he instilled confidence in me’
“Yes, it can get tough some times when you have a bad game here and there, but there has been immense support from HCA. Not to forget how Anirudh sir has always instilled confidence in me. He was always a call away and ensured that I only looked at the positive side and backed my game,” he pointed.
“So far, I played against Virat Kohli in the IPL. Now I will play with him and share the dressing room with him. Cannot wait to share the dressing room with him and some of the best cricketers in world cricket. It will be all about learning from them and understanding how they compete against the best in the business and succeed,” he smiled.
With Tewatia gaining the limelight from his IPL 2020 performance primarily, Tewatia believes that a successful IPL was a big blessing. “You do know that the best in the world come over to play in the IPL. If you perform against them, it also helps build your confidence. I am glad that I could play match-winning knocks for Rajasthan Royals this season,” he signed off.
