The inclusion of Tilak Varma in the national team has the support of former India opener Robin Uthappa. Uthappa thinks he could be the solution to India’s middle-order problems.
Because of the injuries to important players recently, India’s middle-order batting has been a source of concern. KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are working hard to get back in shape in time for the World Cup. Tilak Varma’s ascent has offered a ray of hope and a potential answer to the problem.
Robin Uthappa stated on JioCinema, “Certainly, he would be discussed by the selectors as well. “If you want to look at someone who can serve the team for a long time, he seems like he’s got a pretty good head on his shoulders, and he goes about his business in a very diligent way.”
While everyone waits for Varma to make his ODI debut, his recent 5-match T20I series in the West Indies has attracted the attention of both amateurs and professionals. Varma proved his mettle on the international scene during his maiden series by scoring an astounding 173 runs, proving his versatility and ability to deliver under pressure.
Uthappa emphasised how valuable Varma is to the team because of his versatility with the bat and the ball.
I’ll try to go for it when you get the ball, you know. Make an effort to get a wicket. He struck lucky. With that return grab, he nearly earned two. Therefore, the material is available in such manner. Uthappa added, “Oh, and the fact that he’s a lefty,” to round up his enthusiastic recommendation.
