    T20 WC: Gavaskar Lauds Varma’s Composed Knock In India’s Opener Vs USA, Calls Him ‘street-smart Cricketer’

    T20 World Cup: India’s narrow escape against the USA in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup opener has drawn praise and pointed analysis from former captain Sunil Gavaskar, who highlighted Tilak Varma’s composure while also outlining what he expects from India in their next match against Namibia.

    Defending champions India began their home World Cup campaign with a tense 29-run win over the USA at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. After being asked to bat first, India slipped to 77/6 on a challenging surface before recovering to 161/9, thanks largely to a counterattacking innings.

    The USA threatened briefly in the chase but were eventually restricted to 132/9. While captain Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 84 and Mohammed Siraj’s 3/29 proved decisive, Gavaskar singled out Tilak Varma for his maturity under pressure.
