Tilak Varma, a prominent member of India’s T20 international squad, has shed light on the team’s batting order philosophy, stating that while openers are generally settled, the rest of the lineup offers significant flexibility. This adaptable approach is being honed as India prepares for the next T20 World Cup. Varma expressed his own commitment to batting wherever the team requires him, be it in the middle order slots from 3 to 6. He emphasized that the team prioritizes tactical advantage and player comfort within these flexible arrangements, citing recent successful instances of batsmen fulfilling varied roles. Discussing the upcoming match, Varma anticipates a high-scoring encounter on the Dharamsala wicket and confirmed that the squad is proactively practicing to mitigate the impact of dew, which is expected to be a factor.
