The Men in Blue have been under criticism for constantly changing the batting order in T20Is. Axar Patel was unexpectedly promoted to No. 3 during the second T20I against South Africa in New Chandigarh. However, the move backfired as he managed to score only 21 off 21 balls while chasing a target of 214.
“Absolutely, everyone is flexible except the openers. I’m ready to bat at No. 3, 4, 5, or 6, wherever the team wants me. Everyone knows the batting order is flexible,” Varma said (via India Today).
However, he struggled while batting at No. 4, where he has scored 490 runs at a strike rate of 128.60 with two fifties. At No. 5, he has added 110 runs at a strike rate of 144.73, along with one half-century.
I’ve Said I’m Ready to Bat Anywhere for the Team - Tilak Varma
“It depends on the situation. You’ve already seen this with Axar Patel in the World Cup—he went up the order and did well. One-off games happen. At that time, whatever feels best for the team, everyone keeps the team first. No one thinks about individual positions. I’ve said I’m ready to bat anywhere for the team, and all players are thinking the same way,” Tilak Varma added.
I Have Told This to All the Batters - Suryakumar Yadav
“From 3–6, anywhere. I have told this to all the batters: other than the openers, everyone has to be flexible. Both are in the scheme of things. It’s always good to have both of them as part of the squad. One can open, one can bat lower down the order. Both can do all the roles. It’s an asset to our team and a good headache to have.”
