In an exclusive chat with Sportstar, Tilak Varma also spoke about his Indian Premier League franchise, Mumbai Indians and their former skipper Rohit Sharma. He said, “My first objective is always to help the team win, for whichever team I play in any format.”

“I have been doing what my franchisee Mumbai Indians has been looking for from my side. Focussing on the team’s needs and trying to be consistent. Whatever role I am assigned I am ready for the challenge,” Tilak said.

“Thankfully, Mumbai Indians has been a great franchise for me, always backing me right from the start, mostly playing me in the eleven which is itself a huge morale-booster. With Rohit Sharma bhai being such a successful captain and also my childhood idol, I have been in such a comfort zone, and I am lucky to have played under him,” he added.

Definitely, my performances with Mumbai Indians did help me in the process of being picked for the Indian team.”
