Rahul Tewatia pulls off a sensational catch

As KL Rahul was close to reaching a brilliant century, he tried to smash a huge six off the bowling of youngster Chetan Sakariya in the last over of the innings. As the ball was sailing over the mid-wicket boundary, Rahul Tewatia showed some brilliant athleticism standing on the boundary rope. The 27-year-old got hold of the ball, tossed it back as he went over the ropes, ran back and grabbed a special catch.

Watch the catch here:

KL Rahul's brilliant innings (91 off 50) ended after the brilliance from Tewatia as Punjab Kings could manage to score one run off the last four deliveries. Although they put up a huge total of 221/6 on the board, it will be really intriguing to see if Tewatia's brilliance can prove to be the difference between the two sides if it ends up being a close contest.
