The Indian team’s young batsman Tilak Verma has moved to the best second place of his career in the ICC T20 international batsmen rankings on Wednesday. His unbeaten 72 -run innings in the second match against England has given him a significant lead in the ranking.
Golden opportunity to break Babar Azam’s record
Tilak Verma now has a golden opportunity to break the 6 -year -old record of former Pakistan captain Babar Azam. Two matches are yet to be played in the current series, and Verma may get a chance to become the youngest player to reach the first place in the rankings. Babar Azam achieved this feat at the age of 23 years and 105 days, while Tilak Verma is currently 22 years and 82 days.
Just 23 rating points behind
Tilak Verma, currently at the top, is only 23 rating points behind Australia’s Travis Head. If he performs brilliantly in the next two matches, he can break Babur’s record.
Tilak Verma in form
Tilak Verma is currently in excellent form, he has played an unbeaten 19, unbeaten 72 and 18 runs in the current T20 series against England. His 832-digit current rating T20 is the fourth largest rating by an Indian batsman in the history of international cricket. In this shortest format of the game, only Suryakumar Yadav, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul have scored more rating points from them.
Verma’s performance has given him a prominent place among the young cricketers of India, and if he continues to play in this way, he may soon touch new heights.
