Ahead of the GT-SRH match, ex-India batter Cheteshwar Pujara said GT all-rounder Rahul Tewatia "will learn his lessons". "It's tricky for someone walking in at no. 7 and 8, which is the toughest position to bat in T20s," he further added. Tewatia has scored 92 runs in 10 IPL 2026 matches and is yet to bowl this season.
