Ahmedabad, April 20 -- Tilak Varma scripted a remarkable turnaround innings, smashing an unbeaten 101 off 45 balls after a sluggish start to power Mumbai Indians against Gujarat Titans in their Indian Premier League clash here on Monday.
Walking in at No.5, Tilak struggled initially, managing just 19 runs off his first 22 balls as Mumbai searched for momentum. However, what followed was a breathtaking shift in gears, with the left-hander hammering 82 runs off his next 23 deliveries to turn the contest on its head.
The innings progression underlined the transformation: 10 runs off the first 10 balls, 7 off the next 10, before an explosive surge of 30, 33 and 21 runs in the subsequent phases.
