Tilak, who came to the crease in the condition of losing 4 wickets for 48 runs in 9 overs, initially kept the wicket and played consistently. Nehal Vadera (21 off 13 balls) added 50 runs for the fifth wicket to improve the situation. After that Vadera got out and Tilak continued to attack. Comrades are turning back one by one..
Telugu boy Tilak Verma has once again struck a chord. Continuing his form last year, Chelaregady was Mumbai’s batter in the opening match of the IPL 16 season. He scored 84 runs in just 46 balls and became the top scorer in the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at Bangalore Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday. There were 9 fours and 4 sixes in this tsunami innings. Tilak, who came to the crease in the condition of losing 4 wickets for 48 runs in 9 overs, initially kept the wicket and played consistently. Nehal Vadera (21 off 13 balls) added 50 runs for the fifth wicket to improve the situation. After that Vadera got out and Tilak continued to attack. He continued to fight alone even as his comrades retreated one by one. And in the last overs, the sky was the limit. Targeting Harshal Patel and Akash Deep, he rained boundaries. Mumbai scored 123 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 17.1 overs. In this situation, it seemed difficult for the team to cross 150 runs. But Tilak made the team’s score run with the help of Arshad Khan (15 off 9 balls). With this, Mumbai scored 171 runs for 7 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Mumbai did not get off to a good start after losing the toss and batting. Rohit (1), Ishan (10), Cameron (5) and Surya (15) failed respectively. All-rounder Tim David (4), who had a lot of hopes, also turned back to a low score.
Among the Bengaluru bowlers, Karn Sharma took 2 wickets, while Siraj, Topley, Akashdeep, Harshal Patel and Braswell took wickets. While Tilak Verma is a Hyderabad Ranji player. His father is an electrician. Initially, Tilak practiced cricket with a tennis ball. Seeing the talent in his son, the father also encouraged him. Although the financial situation was not good, he enrolled in the academy. Tilak represented Mumbai Indians in the IPL last season as well and played brilliantly. He was second in the list of batsmen who scored most runs for Mumbai last season. He scored 397 runs in 14 matches, including two fifties. That’s why Mumbai has retained a lot of Telugu energy. Keeping that belief, Tilak exploded in the first match.
Happiness says it all!
