Tilak Varma continues to rise up the ranks

By India Today Sports Desk: India youngster Tilak Varma made a brilliant debut for the national team against West Indies. The 20-year-old made his international debut on 3 August, 2023, against West Indies. His performance was nothing short of spectacular, scoring a quickfire 39 runs off just 22 balls and taking two catches in his first T20I for India.

Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer, in an interview with ESPNCricinfo, lauded Varma's performance ahead of the 2nd T20I game, set to be played on 6 August.

"He looked impressive. There were no nerves at all. The way he started, it seemed like he was playing a club game or for his state team. No pressure at all," Jaffer said.
