IPL 2018, RCB vs DD: Three masterstrokes from the match

#2 Promoting Rahul Tewatia at No. 6

Sending Tewatia ahead of the big all-rounders in the side was a surprise

This move came in as a surprise when Rahul Tewatia was sent ahead of quality all-rounders in Chris Morris and Vijay Shankar.

The two all-rounders, who have acquired themselves a name on the back of their all-round skills at the international level for the national teams, were demoted in the order of batting.

Tewatia was effective in his nine-ball innings that included three fours to take his tally of runs to 13 for this game.

He partnered the dangerous looking Rishabh Pant very well by giving him most of the strike that gave Delhi the much-needed flourish at the end to propel them to 174.
