Mumbai Indians(MI) young talent Tilak Varma showcased brilliance on Wednesday, scoring a swift fifty against Sunrisers Hyderabad in a thrilling IPL 2024 clash in Hyderabad.

Tilak's exceptional innings, adorned with a 'calma' celebration after he completed his fifty reminiscent of Suryakumar Yadav, drew attention and heartfelt words from the young cricketer.

Chasing a daunting target of 278, Mumbai Indians faced early setbacks with the dismissal of Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma. However, Tilak stepped up, crafting a blazing fifty in just 24 balls.

Upon reaching his milestone, he paid homage to SKY's iconic celebration, expressing his admiration and longing for the seasoned batter who is currently sidelined due to sports hernia surgery.

In a reflective moment, Tilak shared, "My fifty celebration was for Suryakumar Yadav. We are all missing him a lot."

These sentiments underscored the significance of SKY’s absence, especially considering Mumbai Indians' consecutive losses in the IPL 2024 campaign.

Despite Tilak's valiant efforts, the void left by SKY's absence was palpable, leaving the team management grappling for solutions.

However, his unavailability due to injury poses a significant challenge for the team, particularly evident in their recent close defeats to Gujarat Titans and Sunrisers Hyderabad.

With Mumbai Indians yet to secure their first win in the tournament, the absence of SKY looms large, highlighting the urgency for his return to the squad.

Furthermore, reports suggest that the Mumbai star batter's participation in MI's upcoming match against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on April 1 remains uncertain due to his ongoing recovery from sports hernia surgery.
