Suryakumar Giving Me No. 3 Batting Position Was The Turning Point, Says Tilak Varma
India T20I: Top-order batter Tilak Varma believes India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav giving him the number three position has been the turning point of his batting career in the shortest format.
Since his debut in August 2023, Tilak has been one of the best young performers for India in the format, especially in the last few months. His elevation to number three on the tour of South Africa was an instant success through his back-to-back centuries.
But his match-winning knock of 72 not out in a tense chase of 166 against England at Chennai reiterated why Tilak is apt to bat at number three in the shortest format for India. His numbers as a number three batter now read as 419 runs in 11 innings with an average of 69.83 and strike-rate of 171.02.
