He is good. But nothing extra ordinary. (So far).

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Tilak Varma completed his fifty as he scored 65 runs of 45 deliveries to set his team target a powerful finish with the bat.

 

[hassan918]

He has been performing really well for MI in this addition of IPL and currently in the top 10 in terms of leading run-scorers this season.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good back up player for now.

 

[JattMaula]

He would be bowling some overs if not for impact player rule.


He needs to do a Riyan Parag and drag Hyderabad Ranji team into limelight. He has been good but not extraordinary in domestic cricket so far.

He is at that age when an Indian player kicks on to next level and contests for India spot in multiple formats.

This IPL, we have seen some players who were unheard of. Tilak Verma was always there but he never was as highlighted as he is now. The competition of being in the squad just got much harder as we have seen many players who are knocking on the door of selectors.

He already represented India. Started well. Then tapered off. He is also an under-19 World Cup finalist. Most of the young guys that get hyped are from under-19. The Players like Asuthosh, and Shashank have done well in the domestic T20 league. The Indian domestic T20 league is quite a good league. In addition to the national domestic T20 league, they have a state-level T20 league too. Regional level T20 league. They are all competitive. So in a way, most of these guys come through the ranks. Sometimes having too many options can be a problem. You don't know which one will flourish. You have to iterate through them by giving sufficient chances. This is where IPL is useful where you get to play a lot of matches. You get more exposure. But for IPL Bumrah would have never been found. John wright played a major role in unearthing Bumrah.

Do you think he is good enough to be in the squad?

Do you think he is good enough to be in the squad?

He has to iron out a few things. Few glaring weaknesses. But he is bold and aggressive.
