Tilak Varma, the young left-hander, has been generating buzz with his impressive performances for India in the ongoing T20I series against the West Indies. Former India selector MSK Prasad has hailed Varma for his remarkable conversion rate, stating that he has turned fifties into hundreds 50 percent of the time in List A matches. Varma's consistent performances, including his maiden T20I half-century, have caught the attention of fans and former cricketers who are now advocating for his inclusion in India's squad for the upcoming Asia Cup and 50-Over World Cup.
Experts like Pragyan Ojha and Aakash Chopra have even suggested fast-tracking Varma into the No. 4 position in India's ODI team. However, some believe that Varma should wait for the return of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul before making his inclusion in the squad. Indian captain Rohit Sharma has praised Varma for his talent and maturity, but remained tight-lipped about his World Cup inclusion.
With India trailing 1-2 in the T20I series against the West Indies, all eyes will be on Varma as he looks to further prove his worth and strengthen his case for a spot in India's future squads.
