'I Had To Stay Calm For 140 Crore People': Tilak Varma Reflects On Asia Cup Final Heroics
Telangana Sports Authority Chairman Shivsena: India batter Tilak Verma reflted on his heroics in the Asia Cup 2025 final against Pakistan and stated that he had to remain calm under pressure during the tense chase, reminding himself that he was batting not just for himself but for 140 crore people.
Tilak, who returned to Hyderabad on Monday, received a rousing reception by fans at Shamshabad Airport and later felicitated by Telangana Sports Authority Chairman Shivsena Reddy and Managing Director Soni Bala Devi.
"There was a lot of pressure and nerves in my body. A lot was going on in my mind. In my mind and heart, I thought that whatever I do, I will give my life for the country. If I am under pressure and fail, I am not just bringing myself down, I am bringing down 140 crore people. To do that, I had to stay calm. I have learnt the basics from my childhood, and I have had this habit since I was a kid — to be calm and execute everything in my mind," Tilak told reporters on Tuesday.
