Tewatia Said After The Win – It Was A Do Or Die Match For Us

Tewatia said after the win against Punjab – it was a do or die match for us. Rajasthan Royals (RR) defeated Kings XI Punjab on Friday, keeping the playoff hopes alive and all-rounder Rahul Tewatia said it was a do or die match for his team.

Chasing a target of 186, Ben Stokes scored 50 from 26 balls for the Royals. He hit three sixes and six fours during this innings. The team achieved this target by losing three wickets in 17.3 overs.

After the match, Tewatia said that it was a do or die match for us. So we had to pay 100 percent. Joffra Archer initially gave us Momentum. In the very first over, Punjab batsman Mandeep Singh was dismissed.

Our batsmen are taking responsibility. Initially, we were losing wickets in Powerplay, but now it is not so. We focused on filming during the practice session.

Ben Stokes performed very well and took great catches. He is one of the best fielders on our team.

Our middle order strengthened due to top-order performance

Tewatia also took a great catch in the match. In the 18th over, he was caught by Nicholas Puran at the boundary. Taking it, he said that I was very close to the boundary line and I jumped at the right time to take the catch.

Tewatia feels that the Royals’ middle order has become stronger as they are now getting a good start at the top order.

Tewatia said that our middle order has been strengthened due to top-order performance and the kind of start Stokes is giving us is a really positive sign.

The Royals are now at number five in the points table and are scheduled to play their next match with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Sunday.

The 13th season of the Indian Premier League has been very exciting so far. This is happening for the first time in the history of the tournament that despite having 50 matches, nothing has been decided about who will be the last four teams.

Mumbai Indians are the only team to have a place in the playoffs. In the final three, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals are considered almost certain. There will be a war between all three for a place.

By the way, the team from Hyderabad is also involved in this race.

There is a tough competition between the teams to reach the playoffs. The result of the match is awaited till the last moment. Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders have just one match each and this is going to be decisive.

Rajasthan and Kolkata are former champions and there will be a competition between the two. Meaning, whoever wins will get the 14th mark and will have the same claim.
