Mumbai Indians’ young star, Tilak Varma has been making the right noises with the bat in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. The 20-year-old left-handed batsman seems to be operating ever so well this season.
Mumbai Indians have always been a franchise that has developed high-quality batters and bowlers over the decades. Meanwhile, Tilak Varma has well and truly unleashed his inner potential to the core.
The fact that he is the leading run-scorer for Mumbai Indians goes to show his credentials. He is also the seventh-leading run-scorer this season with 214 runs in five games. Notably, he has a fabulous batting average of 53.50 and a strike rate of 158.52.
On the other hand, he has hit 17 fours and 14 hits over the fence. He is destined to go all guns blazing in the upcoming games for Mumbai Indians this season. It will be quite interesting to see how he goes about his work in the next games.
Rohit Sharma drops a hint about Tilak Varma’s India debut
During the recently-concluded encounter against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, Tilak Varma hogged the limelight for his quick-fire cameo. He chipped in with 37 off 17 balls.
Mumbai Indians got the better of Sunrisers Hyderabad by 14 runs and secured their third consecutive win this season. At the post-match presentation, Rohit Sharma dropped a hint about Tilak Varma’s India debut.
The 20-year-old has been hitting the balls so well and it wouldn’t be any surprise to see him don the India jersey anytime soon. While speaking at the post-match presentation, MI skipper Rohit Sharma reserved the highest respect for Tilak Varma.
Mumbai Indians’ captain Rohit Sharma said he likes Tilak Varma’s approach to the game before adding that the cricket fraternity will see the youngster in some other team as well soon.
Is he talking about MEN IN BLUE( INDIA) DEBUT?

Tilak Varma is consistent and can change his approach accordingly.
He would be a very welcome addition to team India as he brings advantage of Left Handed Batsman for their Right Hand dominant side.
