Tilak Verma
Tilak Verma’s condition is also similar to that of Abhishek Sharma, the only difference is that he has 106 runs in his account. But he has made this with a modest strike-rate of 118. Tilak Verma had no control over the Proteas team, he tried to hit a big shot by stepping out on the second ball itself. But the ball took the outer edge of the bat and went into the gloves of the wicketkeeper. Despite this, Tilak took the review. Now it is going to be interesting to see how long Team India will continue to carry him.
Varun Chakraborty
Varun Chakraborty’s failure against South Africa became the biggest reason for Team India’s defeat. He is the highest wicket-taker for India so far in the T20 World Cup 2026, but his wicket did not work against South Africa. For the first time in the tournament, Varun completed a spell of 4 overs, in which he spent 47 runs. He dismissed David Miller but by then he had done his job by scoring 63 runs in 35 balls.
