3 amazing records, which Tilak Verma made in his name by playing a century against Gujarat Titans

Delhi: On Monday, April 20, a storm named Tilak Verma came at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which blew away the Gujarat Titans bowlers like straw. This young star of Mumbai Indians not only lit the fire with the bat but also played a century which will be remembered for a long time in IPL history. Thanks to this century inning of Tilak Verma, Mumbai succeeded in defeating Gujarat by a huge margin of 99 runs.

When Tilak came to bat at the crease, he seemed to be in a dilemma because only 46 runs had come from his bat in the last 5 innings. This was the reason why the beginning of his innings was very slow. His innings got a boost after Hardik Pandya came on the field. He charged-up Tilak after the end of the 14th over, after which he hit fours and sixes and scored unbeaten 101 runs in 45 balls. This was his first century in IPL, which included 8 fours and 7 skyscraper sixes.
