Rajasthan Royals won their latest match against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an absolutely unbelievable matter. Riyan Parag and Rahul Tewatia put up a brilliant show to take theirs to the finishing line. However, there was some drama in the middle at the climax between Khaleel Ahmed and Tewatia.
Tewatia does a Tewatia again
David Warner (48), Manish Pandey (54), and Kane Williamson (22*) helped Sunrisers Hyderabad put a decent score of 158 for the loss of four wickets in their match against Rajasthan Royals in Dubai. Jofra Archer, Kartik Tyagi, and Jaydev Unadkat managed to pick up one wicket each. In reply, Rajasthan Royals started losing wickets frequently and were 78/5 within 12th over with all their top-order batsmen sitting at the dugout. Interestingly Rahul Tewatia once again rose to the occasion to smash an unbeaten 28-ball 45 as Riyan Parag was there with him to contribute with 42* off 26 deliveries. Both eventually helped the Royals win the match by five wickets in an unbelievable manner. Tewatia was awarded the man-of-the-match.
However, Tewatia was involved in a rift with Khaleel Ahmed in the middle and that’s the only thing from the match that he would like to forget.
What happened?
Khaleel Ahmed was delivering the last over of the Rajasthan Royals innings. The Royals needed 14 runs off the last six deliveries. Riyan Parag hit a six in the fifth ball of the last over and won the match for his team. Just after the match Khaleel Ahmed and Rahul Tewatia were seen having a heated discussion in the middle. In the last over, it seemed that some words were said which gave birth to that fight.
David Warner, the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain was seen coming between these two and trying to sort out things. Tewatia even tried to make Warner understand about the issue. However, both were seen making peace with each other after a point. Later, Tewatia, after receiving his player of the match award was asked about the issue to which he said, “No big deal, we just got taken away in the heat of the moment.”
