3rd T20I: If You Are Mentally Strong, You Can Do Well At Any Number, Says Tilak Varma
The HPCA Stadium: Ahead of the third T20I against South Africa, India’s left-handed batter Tilak Varma said being mentally strong allows a batter to succeed at any position in the batting order. India’s batting flexibility left everyone puzzled when Axar Patel was sent out to bat at number three in a chase of 214 in New Chandigarh.
But Axar struggled to get rhythm and fell for a run-a-ball 21, as India fell short by 51 runs. Amidst the likes of Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav not getting big runs, Tilak gave India something to cheer by making a 34-ball 62.
“Everyone is flexible except openers. Everyone is flexible and open to bat anywhere. I am up for batting at 3, 4, 5, 6, or anywhere. Where the team prefers for me to bat, I am up for it. Everyone knows that they are flexible in every batting order. If you are mentally strong, you can do well in any number,” said Tilak in the pre-match press conference.
