In the eighth game of the IPL 2020 Tewatia has moved up the order to offer some excitement after Steve Smith was dismissed after reaching a half-century. However the left-handed Haryana player found it difficult to make contact with the ball and even hampered the Royals' run chase against KXIP. Tewatia nearly brought the Royal pursuit to an absurd level with some very sluggish batting. Therefore no one could have imagined that RR would make a comeback from there. 

Tewatia's poor performance in the chase (first eight runs off 19 deliveries) caused Samson who scored yet another half-century to lose focus. However the runs from the game's final four overs were the deciding factor. Tewatia single-handedly altered the entire trajectory of the chase with five sixes off Sheldon Cottrell's 18th over. It was an incredible effort that ultimately resulted in the biggest run chase in IPL history and Tewatia finally shone on the international stage.
