His comments came after Tilak smashed a stunning unbeaten 51 off just 22 balls against Pakistan in the Asian Games 2026 final. The young batter showed his ability to play different roles and helped India win the gold medal in the Asian Games 2026 on Saturday, October 3.
Jaffer feels Tilak Varma can become an important player across all three formats. Earlier, Sunil Gavaskar sets special century target for Rohit Sharma ahead of 2027 World Cup.

Wasim Jaffer said in a video posted on his YouTube channel, “It feels great to see his versatility. He previously scored a century at No. 3, and now he has adapted to the No. 5 and No. 6 positions so beautifully. This is an amazing quality. It's about time.”

Jaffer also praised Abhishek Sharma for becoming a more mature batter. The 26-year-old earlier had a habit of trying to hit a big shot from the first ball, but he has now started giving himself some time before attacking. Abhishek showed this change against Pakistan.
His knock played a major role in India reaching 211/6 before their bowlers restricted Pakistan to 192/6 and secured the Asian Games gold medal on Saturday. Amid this, KL Rahul crowned "most versatile cricketer" by Aakash Chopra.
Jaffer signed off by saying, “It seems that Abhishek has matured a bit. He takes a little time, and the assurance is visible now, although this format doesn't give you a lot of time. His earlier approach was to try to hit a six on the first ball. Now, he has understood that it was the wrong approach.”
