Gautam Gambhir’s words of wisdom to Tilak Varma before the match
After his outstanding knock, Varma credited Gambhir for shaping his approach to the game. Before the match, Gambhir advised him to adapt to the situation, stressing that if the team needed 10 runs more, he had to take charge, but always batting sensibly. The 22-year-old acknowledged the importance of this guidance, especially with the two-pace wicket and wickets falling quickly.
“First of all, the wicket was a bit of two-pace and wickets were falling one after the other, so yesterday I was talking to Gautam Gambhir Sir, and he told me that whatever happens, I play according to the situation. What the team needs, do it. If you want 10 runs in an over, bat sensibly,” he said. Varma said about Gambhir’s words at the post-match presentation ceremony.
