Till now Tilak Varma has not represented India in the ODIs. However, he has shown his class in the T20I and at the same time, he is also having fine First Class records. However, his performance in the recent T20I series against the West Indies was certainly brilliant. 

The recent performance of Varma 

Tilak Varma played in the recent 5-match T20I series between India and West Indies. In this series, he went on to perform brilliantly well. That is one of the reasons that he is being appreciated by the former Indian Cricketer Dinesh Karthik. 

Statistics of Tilak Varma in the recent T20I series 

• Runs scored – 173 
• Average – 57.66 
• Strike – 139 
• 50s/100s – 1/0 

The statistics that are mentioned above are certainly brilliant and it shows that there is a lot of talent in this young man. He only needs to ensure that he performs consistently well, and there is a chance for him to play in the ICC World. But at the same time, no one can ignore the other competitors for the No. 4 spot. 

Views of Sourav Ganguly on Varma, for the no. 4 spot

Not only Dinesh Karthik but even his former captain Sourav Ganguly is having the same mindset about Tilak Varma. According to him, Tilak Varma is not having enough experience, but he is still going to be very useful because he will be playing fearless Cricket. That is certainly going to be very helpful, and that can change the game. 

The other reason Sourav Ganguly mentioned Tilak Varma as a good option is that he is a left-hander. At no. 4 India certainly needs a left-hander. 

So, the competition for the no.4 spot in the Indian Team continues for the World. Let’s see who goes on to win it.
