HYDERABAD: Wielding the willow, Hyderabad’s up-and-coming batsman Tilak Varma scored a stunning 84 off 46 balls for Mumbai Indians against Royal Challengers Bangalore. This helped MI to achieve a respectable score and served as a saving grace for MI though it lost the match.
This was the first match between the two teams in IPL 2023.
The Hyderabadi boy, who was bought by the MI in the auction in February 2022, for last season continues to bat for the team mentored by master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.
Now, Varma got an opportunity to treat his team to a typical Hyderabadi
dinner at his home in his hometown.
The celebrity cricketers of MI were in attendance to make the occasion glorious.
The MI team descended on Hyderabad a day before the league match with the host team — Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
The left-hand batsman played a perfect host to Sachin Tendulkar, skipper Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Tim Davi, IPL 2024 debutant Arjun Tendulkar, shared the delicacies and savoured the Hyderabadi hospitality too.
Now, SRH or MI, Hyderabad cricket buffs are waiting for a feast from their own batter at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium at Uppal in Hyderabad.
Tilak Varma’s family felt honoured to be flanked by the Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar and other stars in a one-off the rare photo-ops as they came walking into their house. The joy of his family knows no bounds, for it’s not very long ago Varma was practicing in cricket academies in the city before he made it big into the IPL.
His debut first class cricket match was in December 30, 2018 in Ranji Trophy, followed by T20 for Hyderabad in 2018-19 season.
“Honoured to host my @mipaltan family at my home for dinner. A wonderful night that my family and I won’t forget. Thank you for coming ☺️💙,” he Tweeted.
Now that he treated his team mates to a dinner and satiated their taste buds, he now has to treat his native audience to a great cricket and satiate their yearning treating their eyes and hearts to a feast of runs.
