Tewatia made his IPL debut for Rajasthan Royals in 2014, but never become a household name until Sunday when he changed the game. After signing up for Rajasthan Royals in 2014, he played only 1 game in IPL 2015. He was bought by the Royals for Rs 10 lakh.
Netizens went crazy after seeing his performance and #Tewatia started trending on the platform. Rajasthan Royals changed its Twitter bio to pay tribute to the 27-year-old all-rounder.
The team’s new Twitter bio now reads -- "Hoping 2020 does a Rahul Tewatia".
It was an excellent opportunity for brands to chip in and leverage the moment. Several big brands joined the conversation and congratulated him in their own signature style.
