Tilak Varma Announces Return to Form with Explosive Cameo in India A Warm-Up
Mumbai Indians star Tilak Varma successfully marked his return to competitive cricket following testicular surgery, delivering a crucial cameo for India A in their T20 World Cup warm-up against the USA. The southpaw, recently cleared by the BCCI's Centre of Excellence, scored 38 runs off just 24 balls at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy.
Joining Narayan Jagadeesan at the crease, Varma initially took a few balls to find his rhythm, scoring 10 runs off his first eight deliveries. However, he quickly accelerated, showcasing his aggressive T20 intent by hitting three fours and two sixes, finishing with a strong strike rate of 158.33 before his dismissal in the 14th over.
This performance is a significant confidence boost for the 23-year-old, confirming his fitness and form ahead of joining the senior Indian squad for their final preparatory match against South Africa. His quick reintegration into high-intensity cricket bodes well for his role in the upcoming global tournament.
