Indian Premier League: Mumbai Indians (MI) left-handed batter Tilak Varma believes that playing against top international cricketers in the Indian Premier League (IPL) makes for excellent preparation when facing them in international cricket matches.

"I joined Mumbai Indians in 2022, so this is my fourth season. I’ve had the opportunity to play with several senior and domestic players. That boosts your confidence. Since you face a lot of international-level players in the IPL, it really helps when you eventually play at the international stage,” said Varma on JioStar.

MI will be facing SRH in Hyderabad, Varma’s hometown, and he expressed excitement about playing at his home ground on Wednesday evening. “Last year, when I played in Hyderabad for Mumbai Indians, I was just walking out of the stadium for the warm-up, and the crowd started shouting my name.”
