Tilak kept his promise

Tilak said that if I get a chance at number three, I will perform strongly. So Surya encouraged Tilak by giving up his batting position and the 22-year-old young batsman lived up to his captain’s faith. Captain Suryakumar himself told about this after the match. Captain Surya said, ‘Tilak came to my room in Gakebahara and said give me a chance at number three, I will perform well. I said okay, go and say what you want. ‘Tilak did what he said.’

Tilak hit some powerful shots

Tilak played an unbeaten inning of 107 runs in 56 balls with the help of 8 fours and seven sixes. Thanks to Tilak’s explosive innings, the Indian team, batting first, was successful in scoring 219 runs at the loss of 6 wickets on the score board.
