Tewatia had scored just 14 runs off the first 21 balls he faced in his innings but went on to finish his innings on 53 off just 31 balls, scoring 39 runs off the last ten balls he faced. His five sixes off an over completely turned the game in Rajasthan Royals' favour as the Smith-led side chased down the target of 224 runs with three balls to spare to win the game by four wickets. Tewatia was lauded by many for his heroics including Yuvraj Singh, who praised his efforts and jokingly thanked him for missing one ball in Cottrell's over which saw him miss the record of six sixes in an over.
