Tilak Verma becomes the fourth batsman
This was the fourth chance in the IPL when a batsman retired out. Ravichandran Ashwin was the first batsman to be dismissed in 2022 in the year 2022. After this, Atharva Taide and Sai Sudarshan have also retired in 2023.
The question is not on tilak, but also on them
By the way, the questions are not only about Tilak Verma, but also with Suryakumar Yadav and captain Hardik Pandya. It is true that Yadav scored 67 runs from 43 balls, but he also slowed down in the last part of his batting. At the same time, Captain Hardik Pandya also did not even delayed big shots, so even the shots were not coming out of his bat. However, everyone knows how Tilak is a batsman, but he became a puzzle to score 25 off 23 balls.
Hardik’s cleanliness
However, on calling him out, captain Hardik said after the match, ‘We needed big shots at that time and big shots were not coming from his bat. This happens in cricket when you try to actually put big shots, but you are not successful, our decision itself tells why we took this decision. However, fans are also reacting to this

The question is being held about Tilak’s intentions..than did not try to put a shot
Tilak Verma’s today innings reminded me this inning of yuvraj singh in t20 wc final. How someone can play this bad. Top of that he was impact player. He even didn’t try to hit the ball. What a shame.#Mivslsg #LSGVMI #Tilakvarma #Hardikpandya pic.twitter.com/2MPVS8PLH4
