Tilak Verma may be struggling with poor form in recent times and it is difficult to score runs from his bat, but when Pakistan team is in front, this young player completely changes his complexion, appearance and form. Tilak Verma, who has been struggling for some time, created havoc as soon as he came on the field against Pakistan in the high-voltage gold medal match of the Asian Games. Tilak, who came to bat at number six, turned the tables of the entire match by scoring a blazing half-century in just 21 balls. At one time, the Indian team seemed to be limited to around 170 runs, but thanks to the stormy innings from the bat of Tilak Verma, India scored a huge score of 211 runs on the board.
Changed gear after slow start: scored 28 runs in 6 balls
When Tilak Verma came to the crease, his start was very slow. He could not hit a single boundary on his first 8 balls and only 7 runs were recorded in his account. However, he regained his rhythm after hitting the first four on the 9th ball. The real storm came in the 18th over, when Tilak destroyed the Pakistani bowling attack. In just 6 balls played between the fifth ball of the 18th over and the fourth ball of the 20th over, Tilak hit 4 skyscraper sixes and 1 four. He completed his fifty in just 20 balls and along with Shivam Dubey played an aggressive partnership of 62 runs in just 30 balls.
Tilak’s star always shines against Pakistan
Tilak Verma’s bat always fires against Pakistani bowlers. Earlier, he had played a similar trouble-shooting innings against Pakistan in the final of Asia Cup also. In that title match, when the Indian team had lost its top 3 wickets for just 20 runs, Tilak led the team to the title victory by scoring unbeaten 69 runs in 53 balls. Now, by playing an explosive inning against Pakistan in the final of the Asian Games, he has once again proved that he is one of the biggest match winners of Team India in big matches.
