Rahul Tewatia, who became an overnight star by smashing West Indian pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, said his self-belief did not waver despite the "worst 20 balls" he ever played early in his roller-coaster knock.

His sensational effort helped Rajasthan Royals beat Kings XI Punjab in an incredible match on Sunday night. Early on in his innings, he was struggling to put bat to ball. "The dugout knows I can hit the ball long. I knew I had to believe in myself. It was a matter of one six," Tewatia said after Royals' four-wicket win.
