@rajasthanroyals thread:
Quality 1: Temperament
"Let's take the game deep and wait till the the 15th over. We both have the capabilities to smack 60 runs in the last 5 overs"

Tewatia who had just come into the crease, said the above words to @ParagRiyan..

.. who probably had the same plans, got the go-ahead from his senior partner. Like an elder brother, he reminded Parag of his capabilities, and made sure young @ParagRiyan has the confidence to execute his plans. Parag obliged. @rajasthanroyals were 94/5 @/15overs.

Both batsmen ( @rahultewatia02 7 (11), @ParagRiyan 12 (14)) batting at less than a 100 SR.

2nd Quality: Confidence and Ownership

"You take a single 1st ball. I have a plan against @rashidkhan_19"
Royals had taken 18 off Sandeep's over. For the 1st time in the inngs,..

#RR looked to have a realistic chance of winning the game. @SunRisers sensed that too and played their last card. Tewatia by now was no more the Tewatia who played against KXIP. He knew himself, the pitch and the bowler well. He read the googlies & reverse swept Rashid twice..

Similar to how Morgan reverse swept Bishnoi's googlies & then cover drove one to throw the cat among the pigeons. Eq 22 off 12. He then smacked Natarajan yorkers to covers & fineleg that left the finishing touches into the hands of Parag.

The knock in which Tewatia was oozing with confidence,he had precision in planning and showed immense ownership skills. This was also the 2nd time that he closed the game for the team with the bat. Interestingly, the other game that @rajasthanroyals won against @ChennaiIPL..

@rahultewatia02 bowled a magical spell with ball taking 3 wickets in the 4 overs he bowled. Therefore, here comes his biggest quality of having ability to close games. His ability also makes you wonder what if Tewatia had support against @DelhiCapitals.

Or What if @rahultewatia02 was used better against @RCBTweets. While those things are done, the ability to take the game deep and win the game that Tewatia has shown is unmatched and rare in Indian cricket. So shall he play for India? Well that depends on @rajasthanroyals only.

How? The answer was given by his former Haryana captain Ajay Jadeja in the cricbuzz show: "The way he batted against the likes of Rabada and Nortje. He looked like someone who wants to take the game deep. He is sorted and confident & today he showed us what he can do if.."

".. he gets some support at the other end. His temperament is impressive and now it is upto #RR on how they will make him as lethal as Russell. The guy has won you 3 games. He is special with the bat, use him to upset opposition plans the way #KKR has used Russell.."

"... and see India a country where we have 10 openers in line, we will boost of having our own finisher after Dhoni in this format.. This is how you make stars -Superstars.So, it is upto @rajasthanroyals on how they make Tewatia superstar."

Tewatia has now scored 25 off Cotrell in 6, 20 off Saini in 6 balls, 14 off Rashid in 6 balls & hope he hits more and more going forward. This has been a dream IPL for him and I hope this thread is as good as his finishes have been. Do leave a feedback. We are listening pakka
