Rahul Tewatia (born 20 May 1993) is an Indian cricketer who plays for Haryana in the domestic cricket and Rajasthan Royals in Indian Premier League (IPL). He plays as an all-rounder. Rahul Tewatia, 27, was rewarded with a maiden call up by the BCCI to India’s home T20I squad for the five-match series against England. Tewatia, who plays for Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, was one among three uncapped Indian players to receive their maiden call up.[1]

Career[edit]

Tewatia made his debut for Haryana during the 2013–14 Ranji Trophy on 6 December 2013 against Karnataka at the Bansi Lal Cricket Stadium.[2] He managed 17 runs total in his two appearances at bat.[2] He made his List A debut for Haryana in the 2016–17 Vijay Hazare Trophy on 25 February 2017.[3]

He also made his T20 debut representing Rajasthan Royals in the 2014 IPL.[5] In February 2017, he was bought by the Kings XI Punjab team for the 2017 Indian Premier League.[6] In January 2018, he was bought by the Delhi Daredevils now Delhi Capitals in the 2018 IPL auction.[7] During the 2019 Indian Premier League, he also set the joint record for taking the most catches (4) by a non-wicket keeper in an IPL innings.[8] In November 2019, before the 2020 Indian Premier League, he was traded to the Rajasthan Royals.[9]

On 27 September 2020, he equalled Chris Gayle's record for hitting the most sixes in an over of an IPL match,[10] when he hit 5 sixes off Sheldon Cottrell in the 18th over of the match against Kings XI Punjab.[11] He scored 53 runs in 31 balls,[12] helping his team to chase the target of 224 runs,[13] which became the highest runs ever chased in the Indian Premier League history.[14]
