Dream11 IPL 2020: Rahul Tewatia guides Rajasthan to win from an unlikely situation, fans run meme riot

On Sunday, Rahul Tewatia once again starred for Rajasthan as he helped the Men in Pink achieve the target of 159 set by Hyderabad in Dubai. The Steve Smith-led team was down and out of the game when they were languishing at 78/5 after 12 overs. With another 81 runs required off the final eight overs and all the specialist batsmen back in the pavillion, a victory seemed like an improbable task for Rajasthan.

However, Rahul Tewatia had other plans as he played calculated cricket alongside youngster Riyan Parag and took the game deep. The Rajasthan outfit needed 36 off the last three overs and Rashid Khan came to bowl the 18th over. The Afghan spinner, who had bamboozled Rajasthan top-order with his spin, couldn't keep Rahul Tewatia under check as the Haryana lad smashed him for three consecutive boundaries to pull back the game in Rajasthan's favour.

The duo of Rahul Tewatia and Riyan Parag ensured that they didn't lose the plot from there as they reached the target with a ball to spare. While Rahul Tewatia scored an unbeaten 45 off 28 balls, Riyan Parag also shined with 42 off 26 balls. After the game was done, Twitter erupted as they lauded Rahul Tewatia and Riyan Parag for their brilliant chase.
