After India’s dismal batting performance in the second Twenty20 International in the ongoing series against South Africa, someone had to stand up. Tilak Varma destroyed the hosts in the third game, scoring a magnificent 107* off 56 deliveries, a powerful knock that included eight fours and seven maximums.
Suryakumar Yadav, India’s T20I captain, was gushing about Varma’s valour. The 22-year-old would be batting at one-drop for the time being, he finally affirmed after telling an interesting narrative about the southpaw.
Regarding Tilak Varma, what else can I say? I told him to “go out there and express yourself” when he (Tilak) came to my room in Gqeberha and said, “Give me a chance at No. 3; I want to do well.” He gave it to him when he begged for it. incredibly pleased for him and his loved ones. According to the Hindustan Times, Suryakumar said, “Yes, he will bat at No. 3 for the time being.”

Varma made it apparent what he intended to focus on when he batted and accepted his captain’s decision-making.
The captain, Suryakumar Yadav, deserves all the praise. He stated before to the game that he would go to No. 4 and that I could bat at No. 3. At the post-match presentation, Varma said, “I just wanted to express myself and back my basics.”

With Rishabh Pant committing to the visit of Australia and Virat Kohli, India’s long-time No. 3 batsman, hanging his boots since the end of the T20 World Cup 2024, Varma appears to have found a new role for himself. Since the world event, players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Sanju Samson have all been put to the test at number three.
