IPL 2021: Rahul Tewatia eyes improved performance in UAE after below-par show in 1st leg

Written by Vishwas Gupta

Rajasthan Royal’s allrounder Rahul Tewatia said that he wants to take every match in the UAE leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 seriously because “you never know which match can change the course of your career.”

“I know my performances weren’t up to the mark with regard to the high expectations I keep of myself both when it comes to batting and bowling,” he said in a release issued by RR.

“However, I will put in the effort to improve the output in the next seven matches that we are scheduled to play in the UAE.”

Rajasthan Royals will be resuming their IPL campaign when they take on Punjab Kings on September 21.

Tewatia, who had smashed five sixes in one over against Punjab in the last edition, said the feat gave him the confidence that he is capable of producing an “extraordinary” performance and he is looking forward to the clash.

“I am really looking forward to it, however not just that match, but all the seven matches. I like to play all my matches with the same intensity and intent, but of course, there are good memories facing PBKS, so it feels special,” he said.

“It also gives me great belief and confidence that I can produce similar performances and do something extraordinary whatever the situation may be. My intent will always be to make the team win from anywhere.”
