Well measured, well paced and sensible knock by Tilak Verma to bring his maiden T20i century in style. Showed his teammates you don’t need to go for every ball right from the ball 1 pic.twitter.com/RCX4tfaejW

What a century for starboy Tilak Varma…..!!!

We lost wickets in regular intervals but Tialk kept on attacking and gave team decent total.

Tonight he replied everyone who doubts his calibre. He is special talent and has risen in international cricket.

Happy for him. pic.twitter.com/ybxIkIqKTl
