In the 2020 IPL, Rahul Tewatia's bat, who came into the limelight by hitting five consecutive sixes in five consecutive balls against Punjab Kings, remained silent in the 2021 IPL. At the same time, due to not passing the fitness test, he could not get a chance in playing XI despite being in the team in the home T20 series against England in early 2021.

 

The backlift has been made higher

 

His childhood coach Vijay Yadav says that runs will come out of his bat once again in IPL 2022. He said that a little change has been done in his back lift. His backlift has been raised so that power can come in his shot. The secret of his success in 2020 was also that his backlift was high, but if seen in 2021, he was shooting down the back lift. Worked on this for a few months. Its effect will be seen in the 15th season of IPL.
