Tilak Varma’s Focus on Becoming an All-Rounder
Tilak Varma, widely recognized for his batting prowess, is now working diligently on his bowling to evolve into a reliable all-rounder. With limited bowling experience at the domestic and international levels, Varma has started focusing more on his bowling skills, especially in red-ball cricket, to make a significant mark in first-class cricket. His ambitions for the upcoming season reflect his desire to contribute to the team beyond his batting capabilities.
In a recent interview, Tilak emphasized the importance of being versatile, stating that success in the red-ball format can translate into better performances in white-ball cricket. This shift in focus could help him secure a place in India‘s main squad in all formats. Although he has only bowled sparingly so far, his determination to enhance his skillset is evident in his training regime.
Adapting to the Fast-Paced Nature of International Cricket

Having made his T20I debut last year, he admitted that the biggest challenge at the international level is adapting quickly to the game’s intensity. He pointed out that both bowlers and batsmen in international cricket are highly experienced, making it essential for newcomers like him to adjust swiftly and make the most of limited opportunities.
