Tilak Varma, the highly rated Indian youngster who made his ODI debut against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2023, has failed to deliver as he was knocked over on 5 by the Bangladeshi debutant. Tanzim Hasan Sakib, the 20-year-old Bangladesh debutant first dismissed Rohit Sharma on duck and them got rid of Tilak Varma with a beauty to send shockwaves all over India.

Tilak Varma came in at number 3 after Rohit's dismissal with all eyes on him after a blistering start to his T20I career in the Caribbean. However, he could not repeat those heroics in ODI cricket and and India were reduced to 17-2 in their bid to chase down a target of 266. 

How Tilak Varma got Bowled?

Talking about the ball, that got rid of Tilak, it was a good-length delivery, that pitched around off. It seamed back in slightly and Tilak Varma tried to leave it but did not cover his off stump while doing so. The ball ended up knocking over his off stump and left him stunned, bringing an end to a disappointing debut.

Tilak Varma also dropped couple of catches during Bangladesh's batting and overall, it has been a below-par debut for the southpaw. He is a quality act though and is the one for future and the young man also provides an option with the ball with his off-breaks.
