'One Of The Best I’ve Seen': Jayawardene Reserves High Praise For Tilak For His Maiden IPL Ton
New Delhi: Mumbai Indians (MI) head coach Mahela Jayawardene lauded his side's all-round execution while also dubbing Tilak Varma’s century ‘one of the best’ that he has ever seen after their emphatic 99-run victory over Gujarat Titans (GT).
Reflecting on the innings that was built around a late surge, Jayawardene admitted the side had been under pressure early on. “We were in trouble, but we dug ourselves from that, (we were) patient, and batted really well to get that score,” he said in a video shared by the franchise, pointing to the composure shown by the middle order after early setbacks.
The turnaround was powered by a stunning counterattack, particularly from Tilak Varma, whose maiden IPL century lifted MI to a formidable total. Jayawardene did not hold back in his praise for the young batter’s knock. “We had a couple of big overs. Tilak, one of the best I’ve seen!” he remarked.
