Tilak Varma made history on Friday by breaking Virat Kohli’s long-standing record with a stunning century in the 4th T20I, propelling India to a massive 283-run total. In a match that showcased his class and power-hitting, Tilak blazed his way to 120 not out from just 47 balls, including nine boundaries and ten sixes. His remarkable innings helped India post a daunting total, leaving the South African bowlers helpless.
After Abhishek Sharma’s early dismissal, Tilak joined forces with the in-form Sanju Samson, and together, they created a match-winning partnership. The duo added a staggering 210 runs for the second wicket, providing the perfect foundation for India’s onslaught. While Samson contributed a solid 109 runs off 56 balls, Tilak played with even greater aggression, taking the attack to the Proteas bowlers and putting on a breathtaking display of batting.
Tilak’s match-winning knock not only led India to a commanding total but also saw him surpass Virat Kohli’s record for the most runs by an Indian in a bilateral T20I series. Kohli had previously held this record, but Tilak’s exceptional performance in the ongoing series has now earned him the top spot on this elite list.
This historic achievement marks a significant milestone in Tilak Varma’s career and further cements his reputation as one of India’s brightest young talents in T20 cricket.
