Rahul Tewatia’s animated fight with Khaleel Ahmed

Rahul Tewatia did an unthinkable against KXIP when he hit 5 maximums in an over to buy a miraculous victory for their team and since then, he increased the expectations on him whenever he came onto bat.

He pulled off another heroic effort against SRH when RR were down and out and helped his team chase down 159 runs. When RR needed 8 runs from the final over, David Warner decided to give the ball to Khaleel Ahmed who didn’t pose much of a threat to the RR batsmen and they won the game with ease. In the process, Rahul Tewatia and Khaleel Ahmed were involved in a verbal fight which got ugly after RR hit the winning runs.
