The Royals training camp had a fun time and were delighted watching these two indulge in a friendly duel.

Tewatia has emerged as a worthy prospect for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2020. He gave the first glimpse of his heroics with the bat against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in which he scored 53 off 31 balls. His innings helped the Royals in sealing the biggest chase ever in the IPL 2020 with three balls to spare. He also proved to be a match saver with his cameo combining Riyan Parag to help his team win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).

Although the Royals’ have looked out of shape more often than not this season, they had a dismal run so far in the tournament. They are placed at seventh in the points table, just a notch better than Kings XI Punjab who are at the eighth position. The Royals’ have won just three matches from the eight played so far in the tournament.

The player made his cricket debut playing 2013–14 Ranji Trophy in December 2013 for Haryana team. His T20 debut was made representing Rajasthan Royals in the 2014 season of IPL. He was later bought by Kings XI Punjab in 2017 and Delhi Daredevils in the 2018 IPL auction. He was traded to Rajasthan Royals once again in November 2019.
