Tilak Varma's struggle continues: India vs England 3rd T20I match ended in the most unusual fashion for the Men in Blue side as they were handed a 125-run defeat by the Three Lions, as they took a 2-0 lead over the T20 World Cup champions. Shreyas Iyer and his side were bowled out for just 76 runs in the match, resulting in their second-lowest total in T20I cricket.
Vice-captain Tilak Varma once again failed in the match, as he was dismissed for 3 runs in 11 deliveries, as the string of low scores continues for the Southpaw. He has just one good score in the last few innings, which has made question against him being the vice-captain of the side. Tilak has been criticised for his poor form.
Ahead of the 4th T20I, former India opener and chief selector Krishnamachari Srikkanth has taken a dig at Tilak, calling his selection into question and making fun of him being appointed as the vice-captain. He also came into bat below Axar Patel at No.6, which was called into question by the 1983 World Cup winner.
Tilak has scored 19, 55, 13, 24 not out, and 3 in his last five innings but has struggled to make a significant impact. His sole major contribution was a valiant 55 against Ireland, resulting in a tight one-run loss.
"I rather play Sanju Samson himself instead of Tilak Varma"- Krish Srikkanth wants India to drop Tilak Varma
Krishanmachari Srikkanth stated in a funny way that Tilak is already the deputy of Shreyas Iyer and will soon lead the side as well. He is currently clueless, as he is fearing facing pace bowlers and waiting to bat against spinners. The former India batter stated that he would rather play Sanju Samson instead of Tilak.
"He's already the vice captain and it looks like he'll soon become the captain also. Tilak might have himself said he doesn't want to go out, seeing the pace and bounce. He is clueless. I rather play Sanju Samson himself instead of Tilak Varma," Srikkanth said on his YouTube channel.
"You make Tilak your main batter and vice-captain. Yet, why are you shielding him against fast bowling? They are sending Axar Patel ahead of him. It's clear they are trying to shield Tilak Varma because they know he's vulnerable against short-pitched bowling. I've been consistently saying he should be dropped. But they don't drop him."
"What antics are the thinktank doing"- Kris Srikkanth takes dig at Gautam Gambhir
Srikkanth also targeted India's team management and head coach Gautam Gambhir, claiming that the Men in Blue had messed up the batting order in the previous game, with Harshit Rana coming in ahead of Shivam Dube and Axar Patel, which backfired.
"They also sent Harshit Rana ahead of Shivam Dube. What antics are the thinktank doing? Shivam Dube ofcourse we know is done once there is pace and bounce. It was almost like once he saw the pitch, he was happy to get out and escape. Dube can only do anything if a spinner bowls slowly in the slot on a flat track. Archer is laughing when bowling to him," said Srikkanth
