Rahul Tewatia has played some fantastic knocks in the finisher's role over the years. He became a household name after smashing Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over while playing for the Rajasthan Royals against Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in 2020.

Since IPL 2022, Tewatia has played for the Gujarat Titans. While he has not bowled in the last two seasons, the southpaw has played some important cameos down the order. He gets to face a limited number of balls most of the time in matches, but he still manages to make a mark.
