Playing his maiden IPL edition, the left-handed batsman scored 473 runs including five fifties and 124.8 SR in 15 games and got the Emerging player of the tournament award.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals all-rounder Tewatia was one of the biggest finds of the season.

Speaking on Star Sports show Cricket Live, Lee said that the best part of this IPL has been the young Indian players coming through.
"It has been incredible. It has been hard with no fans, but to me, the best part of this season has been the young Indian players coming through.
The Devdutt Padikkals, the Tewatias and the emergence of, we have seen the Delhi Capitals play some really good cricket, so, I will say the fast bowlers too, but I will always say the fast bowlers," he said.

His performances and how he got Kings XI Punjab going and almost getting there. I think it’s just been amazing watching him and the turnaround of Kings XI Punjab,'' Lara said.
