Mumbai Indians cruised to their third victory of the season against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday. It was a good win for MI, who did not start the campaign on a great note. Tilak Varma has been the most impressive player for the team till now. Here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as Rohit Sharma hints about Tilak Varma’s India debut soon.
Tilak Varma’s India debut is likely to happen soon
Tilak Varma has been at the centre of MI’s batting performance in every game, so far. The youngster started his career as a top-order player but now has been doing well in IPL in the middle-order. India needs left-handed middle-order batters and with Tilak doing well, he could land a spot in the Indian Team soon. Talking about this after the game, Rohit Sharma said, “I like the approach of Tilak, we will see him in some other team as well soon.”
It is a big statement coming from the captain of the Indian Team. If Tilak has impressed Rohit, that would make his entry into the Indian Team very easy. Tilak anyways deserves the spot and India would surely benefit from the talented cricketer. If he can slot in at No.4 or No.5 and help India tackle the spinners, it would help the squad and others around him to perform better. Not to forget, the youngster can also roll his arm over for some right-arm off-spin. This could be important if India needs some extra options in the spin department, something that is not available in the top half of the batting line-up right now.
Twitter reacts to Rohit Sharma’s statement
Meanwhile, the comment by Rohit Sharma has left many curious on the internet. Of course, Rohit meant that Tilak would play for India soon. Here are some reactions in this regard:
