- In IPL 2022, with Titans needing 12 off 2 balls against Punjab Kings, Tewatia struck two sixes to enhance his reputation as a finisher. He won the IPL title with Titans that season.
- Before playing for Titans, Tewatia had been part of three IPL teams - Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals
- It was during his second stint with Royals in 2020 that Tewatia shot to prominence, when he went from 9 off 18 balls to hitting five sixes in the final over to help chase down 224
- Tewatia also bowls part-time legspin and has 32 wickets in the IPL, though he hasn't been used much since the Impact Player rule was introduced in 2023.
Stocky 29-year-old allrounder Rahul Tewatia burst into the IPL's consciousness in 2020, when, promoted to No. 4 by Rajasthan Royals in a chase of 224 against Kings XI Punjab, he crawled to 8 off 19 balls before turning into Mr Hyde and smacking five sixes off an over, taking his side to an unlikely win. A few games on, he produced an only slightly less impressive encore, lashing 45 from No. 7 in a chase of 159.
That year was Tewatia's annus mirabilis. Nine of the 17 first-class wickets he had taken with his serviceable legspin in a sparse seven-game career for Haryana up until then came in a single match, against Jammu & Kashmir in February 2020.
Two seasons on, he played a major hand for his new IPL side, Gujarat Titans, with three 40s that each took them to wins in their first year, where they finished as title-holders.
