Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag has heaped praise on Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder Rahul Tewatia following his heroics against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League that led his side to victory. Rahul Tewatia was coming off the back of a string of good performances in the IPL.

His most notable of the season so far was against Kings XI Punjab when he pulled off a stunning heist from a difficult position. The 27-year-old who was promoted up the order on that day was struggling to get bat to ball. However, he struck 5 sixes off a Sheldon Cottrell to take his side close to the target before the tail-enders did the rest.

Though today’s performance wasn’t as explosive, it was equally important for RR’s victory. He walked in when RR were in a real spot of bother having lost half their side. But his fluent hitting coupled with Riyan Parag’s support and equally adept hitting, led to RR snatching victory from SRH.
