3. Should Rahul Tewatia be included in the squad?

Rahul Tewatia was struggling during a match against the PBKS last year. He was mistiming every ball and was building up pressure for his team. Everybody had thought that the game was over for the Royals, but Rahul had other ideas. He single-handedly destroyed Sheldon Cottrell.

Sheldon went for five sixes in an over. That overturned the match in the Royals’ favor and Rahul became a superstar within a matter of 10 minutes. This was his impact during the 2020 season of the IPL. Since then, he performed decently for his team and has impressed the selectors.

Adding on, his performances in the domestic league have enabled him to make it to the squad. Rahul is a handy batsman as he strikes with a strike rate of 139.34. Apart from that, he bowls with an excellent economy rate of 7.13 in IPL. Therefore, he is a handy player. But, it is a tough decision for Kohli whether he should include Rahul in the squad.
