Indian cricketer Tilak Varma, in a heartwarming revelation after his maiden T20I fifty, shared a touching tale of his affectionate bond with none other than the daughter of Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma - Samaira. Varma dedicated his splendid knock to the adorable four-year-old, who holds a special place in his heart.
Here's What Tilak Varma disclosed about their connection
"It (celebration) was all about Sammy (Samaira), Rohit bhai's daughter. Our relation is really good so I had decided that whenever I score a century or a fifty, then I will do the fun celebration. We both play with each other that way so I did the celebration for Sammy."
Expressing his love for Samaira, the young left-hander added,
"I am very close to Sammy. I had promised her that whenever I score a century or a fifty, I will do a celebration just for her."
During his innings, Tilak Varma put on an impressive 41-ball 51, emerging as India's top scorer. He formed crucial partnerships, notably a 42-run stand for the third wicket with Ishan Kishan (27) and a 38-run collaboration for the fifth wicket with Hardik Pandya (24 off 18 balls). These contributions were instrumental in helping India reach a total of 152 for 7 after skipper Hardik Pandya elected to bat.
The upcoming third T20I on August 8 holds paramount importance for India, as it becomes a must-win game to keep their series hopes alive. This encounter will take place at the Brian Lara Stadium, Torouba, Trinidad.
