Tilak Varma played a one-man show in Mumbai Indians’ eight-wicket loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) opener at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Sunday.
Tilak Varma’s family cheered for him from the stands after the batters reached fifty with a massive six.
Varma had entered inside the batting powerplay after Mumbai lost the big wickets of captain Rohit Sharma (1), Ishan Kishan (10) and Cameron Green (5). Mumbai further slipped to 48-4 when New Zealand off-spinner Michael Bracewell had Suryakumar Yadav (15) caught at point in the ninth over before Varma took charge in the death overs.

Happiness says it all!

Varma put on a brisk 48 runs off the final 17 balls, with Arshad remaining unbeaten on 15 as Harshal Patel (1/43) went for 32 off his final two overs and Siraj’s 11-ball over cost him 16 runs.

Varma displayed his all-round mastery, there were scoops and ramps too, but predominantly he is power-reliant, the bottom-handed grip exerting its clout, and likes to hang back and use the depth of crease.
MI will take on Chennai Super Kings on Saturday at Wankhede Stadium.
