Mumbai, April 21 -- Following the Mumbai Indians' (MI) win over the Gujarat Titans (GT), former Indian cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara said that the franchise's star batter Tilak Varma will have to be "a bit more positive" against spin, using sweeps, reverse sweeps, and shots while dancing down the track to put pressure back on them.

Tilak's century against GT was a spectacular one, marking MI's joint-fastest IPL fifty, tying him with legendary southpaw Sanath Jayasuriya. In his 45-ball 101*, Tilak endured a struggle-filled first half, scoring just 19 in 22 balls as his side found themselves in trouble at 44/3. He took off in the next 23 balls, scoring 82 runs with eight fours and seven sixes and a strike rate of 356.
