This is how the 18^th over of the innings as described by espncricinfo commentary team

17.1 – 6 – Cottrell to Tewatia, SIX runs – It is a small six but it is a six nonetheless. Hang in there, Rahul. Keep swinging. Cottrell follows him with a bouncer, but he manages to get inside the line to pull him flat over long leg

17.2 – 6 – Cottrell to Tewatia, SIX runs – Whoa whoa whoa cricket you beauty. You keep fighting, the tide can turn. He gets a short of a length ball, stands his ground and swings to leg. Not off the absolute middle of the bat but enough to clear the short square boundary and onto the road

17.3 – 6 – Cottrell to Tewatia, SIX runs – Make it three times. Sing your redemption songs. Cottrell pitches up, and he goes over wide long-off. Strike rate of 135 now. Game is on

17.4 – 6 – Cottrell to Tewatia, SIX runs – Well, Rahul, what a player. You are a champion. You have fought through the worst of times. Give yourself something to celebrate. Gees across, shuffles early gets a wide low full toss, and sweeps it over midwicket for another flat six. And now KXIP are having conferences

17.5 – 0 – Cottrell to Tewatia, no run. Goes for the fifth. Slower length ball wide outside off, and he goes across the lines. Beaten. Oh the joy of struggle and redemption. How fortunate to be calling this

`17.6 – 6 – Cottrell to Tewatia, SIX runs  – Wow Rahul bloody Tewatia. This is a story for the ages, son. What redemption. Now Uthappa has to give him strike. He has smacked a wide length ball over midwicket for another six. Now only 21 required in two overs

R Tewatia of Rajasthan became the first batsman in the history of IPL to score five boundary sixes in an over while SS Cottrell of Punjab became the first bowler in the history of IPL to concede six boundary sixes in an over
