Former Indian opener Kris Srikkanth shared his thoughts on batter Tilak Varma’s performance during the third T20I against Zimbabwe, where he scored 11 runs from 9 deliveries. Srikkanth remarked, "Tilak wasted nine balls again. He struggles to maintain a high scoring rate for an extended period." He further suggested that Rajat Patidar would be a better choice, stating, "He doesn't compare to Rajat Patidar. If you are looking for a truly impactful T20 performance, turn to Patidar and provide him with an opportunity."
