IPL 2022 | Sunil Gavaskar praises MI’s Tilak Varma, says his temperament has been fantastic
The Hindu
Tilak Varma has been one of the finds of IPL and with 368 runs from 12 games is the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for the Mumbai Indians
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has seconded Mumbai Indians' skipper Rohit Sharma's opinion that young Tilak Varma could be an all-format batter for India.
Varma has been one of the finds of IPL and with 368 runs from 12 games is the lone bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for the Mumbai Indians.
"Tilak Varma's temperament has been fantastic. In his knock against Chennai Super Kings, he walked into the middle when the team was under pressure. But the way he dealt in ones and twos (early on) was impressive," Gavaskar said.
"He played a wide range of shots and kept rotating the strike. This shows that he has a good cricketing head on his shoulders, and I think that's important.
"Once you have that good cricketing brain, you will be able to lift yourself when things are not going your way. You can analyse yourself and get back to scoring runs," the legendary opener said.
Gavaskar further praised the youngster for having the basics right and agreed with Rohit's observation that the rising Hyderabad cricketer could be an all-format India batter in the future.
"Rohit Sharma rightly mentioned that he could be an all-format player for India. So now it's up to him to work that little bit extra, get his fitness going, get a little tighter as far as the technique is concerned, and prove Rohit right," Gavaskar said.
