Mumbai Indians’ Tilak Varma has transformed from a promising batter into a reliable match-winner. His ability to spin the ball with his off-breaks adds balance. In IPL 2026, he scored four fifties and one century (104* vs DC).
BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar said, “Tilak is in our white-ball plans for the 2026 T20 World Cup later this year.” With India’s middle-order still settling after Kohli-Rohit era, Tilak could debut in the Zimbabwe series in July. His calm demeanour and 360-degree strokeplay remind many of Suryakumar Yadav – but with a better defensive technique.
