This turnover is the fortune of Tewatia was not something anybody expected as he didn’t have a great domestic record to warrant such performances, however, he managed to outdo the expectations of everyone, winning the game for his team. Sanjay Manjrekar insisted that it was ‘freakish brilliance’ from the left-handed batsmen, who had only average performances to his name so far.   

“No, it was almost impossible. I mean who would have thought. People would have tweeted saying Tewatia has lost the game for Rajasthan. And I think it was a decision also made out of great learning of Tewatia because when you look at his record at the first-class level and all there is nothing there to see that told us that he had the potential to win a game like this. He has some hitting ability we have seen that in the past hitting a few sixes, but this kind of a knock, so let’s call it ‘freakish brilliance’,” Manjrekar said on an ESPNcricinfo show.

“He should be celebrated for the way that he finished the game because he dug himself and the team into a hole, let’s not beat around the bush that’s not where he wanted to be but somehow he had the gumption to dig deep within himself and to be able to pull it off. Again, I thought he had thrown the game away,” Ian Bishop said.
