Tilak Varma's unbeaten 101 powered Mumbai Indians to 199 for 5 before bowling out Gujarat Titans for 100 in a 99-run IPL 2026 win in Ahmedabad on Monday. The victory ended MI's four-match losing streak. Ashwani Kumar took 4 for 24 as GT collapsed.
In India's T20 World Cup batting order dominated by flamboyant stroke-makers, Tilak Varma is prepared to rein himself in as a Virat Kohli-esque anchor at No.3 when the situation demands. But beyond the tactical role, he is a visualiser, a batter who prepares as much in his mind as he does in the nets.
