Addressing questions surrounding India’s batting approach ahead of the third T20I, middle-order batter Tilak Varma, who had scored a valiant knock of 62 in the loss, stressed on the importance of situational awareness and clarity within the side.
“Everyone is flexible, except openers. I’m up for batting at 3, 4, 5, or 6, wherever I get a chance. Everyone knows that everyone is flexible in [the batting] order.”
The 23-year-old has primarily batted at number three or number four for India, where he has found great success. Both his centuries in T20Is were from the number three position against South Africa in November last year.
