Former India coach Ravi Shastri is hugely impressed with the performance of young Mumbai Indians batter Tilak Varma in IPL 2022.
Playing just his second IPL match, Varma scored a fine 61 against Rajasthan Royals last week.
"He has shown a lot of potential in both the innings he has played for Mumbai Indians. I am impressed looking at his wide range of shots- front foot, back foot, sweep," Shastri told Star Sports.
"There's a lot of variation in his shot selection. His composure, body language and temperament is very good for a young player. He's batted very confidently. This player has the potential to go ahead."
Shastri also claimed that Varma along with Suryakumar Yadav will make the Mumbai Indians' middle-order strong.
"He has shown positive intent with his batting and these are good signs for Mumbai Indians. Once Suryakumar Yadav is back in the playing eleven, Mumbai's middle-order will be strong."
