The match number 25 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is currently going on between the hosts Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad.
After winning the toss, home team captain Aiden Markram opted to bowl first. Mumbai Indians got off to a start with a opening partnership of 41 runs.
However, it is Cameron Green who played the most important role. The Australian batsman, coming in at number 3, scored 64 runs in 40 balls and helped Mumbai Indians post 192 runs in their 20 over.
Meanwhile, it is young Indian batsman Tilak Varma’s inning that gave Mumbai Indians the momentum. After losing some back-to-back wickets, Mumbai were at backfoot, that’s when Tilak Varma came and hammered a 17 ball 37 runs that consist of 2 Fours and 4 Sixes. See how Twitterati reacted.
Excellent cameo this by Tilak. On a pitch where the ball is stopping a fair bit, and has been able to score runs at 13 RPO (SR of 217). Looked like hitting everything from the middle.

37 in just 17 balls with 2 fours and 4 sixes. A fantastic innings by Tilak. The Hyderabad boy delivers in front of the Hyderabad crowd. pic.twitter.com/Ka50xRCVgR
Tilak Varma has the ability to rotate strike sensibly and has the power hitting game to score sixes too.

This guy Tilak Varma is real Generational Talent . Should be fast tracked in the Indian team as soon as possible after IPL . His inside out shot to Markande from the leg stump with the use of wrist is testimony . Give him whatever pitch and conditions, he always looks settled .
