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.
