Ο Tilak Varma παρέμεινε αήττητος στην πρώτη στο πρώτο T20I στην Καλκούτ και έφτασε σε διακόσια συνεχόμενα στη σειρά στην τελευταία σειρά, την οποία έπαιξε κατά της Νότιας Αφρικής.
Batting against express pace remains the toughest thing to do in cricket. Whatever the format, nothing beats pace. It can’t be taught, and quite frankly, it can’t be conquered. Facing 150 km rockets isn’t easy. Unless you are an in-form man like Tilak Varma. The southpaw manhandled Jofra Archer at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Tilak found it too easy to hit Jofra wherever he wanted to. One mustn’t forget that the speedster had dismissed Sanju Samson in his previous over and was coming in with confidence. Well, that was shot after he bowled a ball. Tilak started by moving away and cutting Jofra over the fielders on the off side. The ball reached the boundary in a jiffy.
Tilak Varma smashes Jofra Archer in Chennai
A premeditated shot. It works sometimes; other times it doesn’t. Some may say this. But this was calculated. Knowing what Tilak had done, Jofra changed his line from outside off to the stumps. He slightly erred in his line and was treated with an exceptional flick over fine leg.
One of the most beautiful strokes you’ll see. Not to forget, it was a ball thrown down at 150.3 km from Jofra Archer. Angered, the pacer bowled a short ball. Tilak Varma was hurried by the pace as he went for the pull. This time fortune favoured the brave (Tilak) and took the edge over the wicketkeeper for another maximum.
