This can be the life-changing moment for Rajasthan Royals. Middle order was their sole issue. They have very strong top order (Samson, Smith, Buttler.etc) and good pace bowling lineup (Archer, Tyagi.etc). The addition of Stokes transform Rajasthan Royals to one of the most perfectly balanced teams in this IPL. On top of that, his addition to the team should lift the morale as well.
RR managed to win the match but it was again because of Tewatia and some contribution from Parag at the end. There were no other batsman even the presence of Stokes was not working. Yes, they have deep batting line-up, but they are lacking to play their batsmen in the right position. Too many experiments are costing them.
Everyone should bow down to Lord Tewatia, he can do anything on his day. No one even expecting that they could win the game after losing Stokes-Buttler-Smith-Samon but Tewatia has other plans as he's one true demi god who could %$k up all your calculation anytime
Well man thanks to lord Tewatia I won a point after around 9 matches. I thought I am going to lose this one again but he really has some magical touch in his batting. He bats pretty cunningly with keeping field in mind. The way he batted to Rashid Khan was best example of this. Sharjah was a small ground so that win could have been called a lucky thing but this innings today was insane. And kudos to Riyan Parag also he too had equal contribution in this win. God knows on what basis RR decided to open up with Stokes. i think it's better if they try to open with Riyan Parag and Steve Smith.
Tewatia seems to me a match winner at - least he was the key to win two matches out of their 3 wins they managed. But for some reason I did not like his attitude after the first match win where he had 4 six and 1 four in one over. I read an interview after the match and there he sounded like an over confident arrogant young man. He has a long way to go, and he really needs to act polite. No one likes an arrogant, disrespectful creature.
Yeah even this match he had some sort of an argument but I don't exactly know who was at fault but I don't think he could play for team India. So on your point that he has a great career ahead. He might become a great IPL player but so far his stats Don't add up to make him play for India. Reason is simple he is roughly 28 now. Moreover so far I don't think he has either a developed batting or bowling. He is more like Vijay shankar. Can bat and can bowl but not great at both. He either has to come up the order once or twice and play dependable innings to be selected for national team because there is already too much competition in the National team.

Not sure where you read that but I got the chance to watch post match presentation where he hit 5 sixes in an over against punjab. Seemed pretty straight forward statement to me, he was just talking about the first phase of inning and admitted that was the worst first 20 balls that he has ever played.
That match is the reason why many people think IPL is fixed. A friend of mine had a heated argument with me saying how can a batsmen who wasn't even able to defend the ball in first 20 balls starts hitting sixes like Yuvraj Singh. It's fishy
