Has Tilak Varma been figured out?


Recommended Posts

He is in the side becz of that AsiaCup Final heroics.   It has been 9 months.  I think he would enjoy a longer rope (maybe another 3-4 T20 series) before being booted out. (If he continues to flop)

I really thought this guy was special could play all formats but he looks clueless on how to rotate strike.He is not free flowing batsman either, he is very limited in shots also.

 

Asia cup or not , he is on short leash.

He is another kela

His entry point is not 3 or 4 but should be what Rinku s is at over 15/16. Then he wont play any spin.He did it well against that windies and england match. Slamb bang 10 ball 25 s. But then the issue is what wrong has Rinku done. I would have Vaibhav, Abhishek, Samson, Ishan, Iyer, Dube, Tilak, Axar if he at all has to play. Iyer Dube s entry point during spin automatically at 5 and 6.

They dropped Rinku Singh because he was similarly crap against spin. 
 

Varma should be treated the same way as well.

But you can't drop 4 catches no matter how small the opposition is. Those were all easy catches. Against these teams you play guys bishnoi

He just can't handle spin bowling even if his life depended on it. 

All the opposition has to do is just keep bowling spin to him!
 

 

He's good enough for T20s but isn't a ODI player and when he has to play a similar role in T20s he struggles. He doesn't know how to rotate the strike and gets stuck. Have been saying the same for a long time when people wanted to push him into ODIs when he averages 40 in List A which is even lower than SKY's List A average!

 

But I would have him in T20 as T20 has a very small period where you may need to consolidate. I would back him in T20s. Sundar is the bigger problem as the guy is not a LOI player or hitter at all.

Everything went to hell for him after his Testicular surgery.Before that he was averaging in the 50s with many hundreds but after surgery in the WC and beyond his stats have taken a nosedive with 29 AVG and and abysmal SR of 134 in the WC and our selectors rewarded him with a Vice Captain promotion.

Think teams already knew his game plan, but he was able to counter it v.fast starts.

 

He plays 2 kind of innings 1) he gets a quick start and he then keeps rolling and hitting 2) He does not get start keeps blocking and getting stuck and not able to redeem.

 

So if Ind has fast start then he can join and keep the game going or if he does not have to worry about his wkt falling then also he can keep-up , but as soon as it come to him to protect the wkt as well as keep scoring at high rates he can not do it.

 

He lacks off-side game most teams knows this , plus he lacks the ability to score 4s without high risk, so when chips are down he can not play expensive shots because he will  need to take risk and couple that with lack of off-side game kind of entangle him.

 

Think mi knew this that why he was sent back when he got stuck.

 

Most batters are able to redeem themselves but he can not , think only 1 innings he was able to redeem himself was in this IPL but it where he has consumed all the deliveries and then decided to take all the risks and that paid off. This does not work most of the times.

 

If tilak is nt paying his 1st kind of innings he reminds bit on Misbah (pak intnl).

Yeah, we should realize that other teams have better quality of pacers and spinners compared to Paksitan. Performance against Pakistan should not be the measurement of any player as they are minnows.

Lol iyer has always struggled on bouncy pitches against tall players. Did he take them lightly his entire career?
