After he almost took India to victory with a fine 22-ball 39 on debut in the T20I series opener against West Indies at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium, young left-handed batter Tilak Varma received a surprise video message from his Mumbai Indians teammate and batter Dewald Brevis. After taking two good catches in the field, Varma’s fine knock of 39 was laced with two fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 177.27 on a slow pitch. Though India lost by four runs to be 0-1 behind in the five-game series, Varma’s wristy strokeplay and elegant bat swing impressed one and all.
