Main point:
Tilak Verma has scored two centuries and a half -century in three matches playing a county championship in England. He scored 112 runs against Nottinghamshire. After the retirement of Virat and Rohit from the Test, Tilak is trying his best to make it to the Indian team.
Delhi: While the series of five Test matches is going on between India and England, on the other hand, the thrill of the county championship is also going on in England itself. Many players from India are playing in this tournament and are performing brilliantly in red ball cricket. This list also includes the name of Hyderabad young batsman Tilak Verma, who is playing in County Division-1 for Hapshire.
Tilak is consistently performing brilliantly
Tilak Verma made a brilliant start by scoring a century in his debut match itself. He played this innings against Essex. After this, he scored 56 and 47 runs in both innings against Westsherire. Now he has scored a second century in his third match. He has played this century against Nottinghamshire.
In this match, Nottinghamshire batting first declared the innings at 578/8. In response, Hapshire scored 367/6 runs, in which Tilak Verma’s brilliant batting contributed a lot. He scored 112 runs in 256 balls. 13 fours and 2 sixes were also involved in this innings. Tilak took over the innings after the openers were dismissed and brought the team to a strong position.
Hope for a place in Indian Test team
After senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, there is now a round of change in Team India. Young players are constantly being given opportunities. Recently, Karun Nair also returned to the Test team. But, in the Manchester Test, he was dropped from the playing XI as he was not in form.
In such a situation, the doors of Test team can now open for Tilak Verma. His record in red ball cricket is also capable. He has so far scored 1407 runs in 31 innings of 20 first class matches at an average of 52.11. These include 6 centuries and 5 half -centuries.
This consistent performance of Tilak Verma is now giving a strong indication to the selectors of India that he is fully prepared for the Test team. If he retained the form in the same way, then in the coming time he can get a chance in Team India’s Test playing eleven.
