Tilak Varma Backed Up By Team India Skipper Despite Patchy Batting Showcase In T20 World Cup: 'No Concern About His Form'

Team India cricketer Tilak Varma has received support from skipper Suryakumar Yadav despite putting in an underwhelming performance with the bat in the T20 World Cup so far.

Tilak Varma has been unable to put up a convincing performance in the T20 World Cup. He has managed to score runs but has yet to deliver a big knock in the marquee event. While he has the capacity to produce standout knocks, he hasn't been able to chip in to provide some flexibility in the number three spot.

Team India Skipper Expresses Faith in Tilak Varma Despite Wobbly T20 World Cup Showing

Despite being unable to switch gears and go full guns blazing, India T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav continues to back up Tilak Varma. He revealed that the Indian cricketer has been asked to adjust his batting style depending on how many wickets the team has lost.

SKY further insisted that there is no issue with his form in the game. The skipper's confidence implies that he would not be let go of the team's playing XI.

"Tilak [Varma] has been told to bat in a certain way. If one wicket falls, he can bat in a certain way, play his shots. But if two wickets fall, he has to take some time. There's no concern about Tilak's form," Suryakumar Yadav said at the pre-match press conference.
