Dream11 IPL 2020: Aakash Chopra trolled for writing off Rahul Tewatia during Rajasthan run chase vs Punjab

Rajasthan, who were going strong at one point, lost the momentum after the fall of Steve Smith's wicket. The Rajasthan outfit decided to promote Rahul Tewatia but it seemed to be a poor call at one stage as the all-rounder failed miserably to get going. Rahul Tewatia could only manage 8 runs off his first 19 balls. Many pundits and cricket enthusiasts on different mediums had criticised Tewatia for struggling on a batting paradise.

Aakash Chopra was one of the cricketing pundits who was extremely vocal about his views. Aakash Chopra even reckoned that 'retiring out' should be legalized in T20 cricket if a batsman fails to get going. However, in a turn of events, Rahul Tewatia scripted a fairly-tale comeback as he smashed six maximums off eight balls to bring his team on the edge of a sensational win.

On Monday, Aakash Chopra once again uploaded another tweet where he posted a snapshot of the bio of the Rajasthan Royals Twitter handle which said "Hoping 2020 does a Rahul Tewatia".

Several reactions poured in as netizens expressed their displeasure. Let's take a look at a few reactions.
