An unbeaten 85-run stand for the sixth wicket between Rahul Tewatia (45 not out) and Riyan Parag (42 not out) helped Rajasthan Royals secure a memorable five-wicket win against SunRisers Hyderabad at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.

Chasing a target of 159, RR were tottering at 78/5 at the start of the 13th over after which the pair turned it around for the 2008 IPL champions. The match mark's a run of defeats for RR that extended to four matches before Sunday's fixture.

However, soon after the match ended, Tewatia was filmed arguing with Sunrisers's captain Dawid Warner over an incident with Khaleel Ahmed. The matter looked serious the way Tewatia was talking with Warner. 

Now the reason for their verbal spat has been revealed. In the last over of the match, when Rajasthan Royals needed 8 runs off 6 balls, Kaleel was bowling. On the fourth ball of the over, Tewatia took a run, after playing a shot. Warner caught the ball and returned it to Khaleel, in the meantime Tewatia tried to take another run. But then Khalil stopped him and said something. Tewatia looked annoyed at this and also said something to Khaleel. However, the matter did not go much further and on the next ball of Khaleel, Parag finished the match by hitting a huge six.
