Varma, who has been likened to some of the greats in Indian cricket, showcased his prowess against South Africa, amassing a stunning unbeaten 107* runs off just 56 balls in Centurion followed by an even more explosive 120* not out from only 47 balls in Johannesburg.
His ability to combine finesse with brute force, dispatching both spin and pace with equal ease, has left commentators and fans in awe. Varma's strike rate, hovering around the 200 mark in both these century knocks, speaks volumes of his aggressive yet calculated approach to T20 cricket.
The significance of these centuries goes beyond personal accolades; they signal Tilak Varma's readiness for higher responsibilities in the Indian T20I team. As India looks to rebuild its T20 squad for future tournaments, Varma's consistent performances, especially in such high-pressure scenarios against a competitive South African side, make a compelling case for his inclusion as a key player.
His recent feats have undoubtedly put him on the radar for selectors, and with each innings, he's proving that he's here to stay, potentially filling the big shoes left by retiring stalwarts. Tilak would be a treat to watch in the home conditions against England in the 5-match T20I series that starts on Wednesday (Jan 22).
