T20 World Cup 2026: RCB Star Names Tilak Varma's Replacement, Not Ishan Kishan!

• Tilak Varma's injury before the New Zealand match led to Shreyas Iyer getting an opportunity, though Ishan Kishan also played.
• Ishan Kishan, despite domestic success, scored only 8 runs and dropped two catches in the first match against New Zealand.
• Former Indian fast bowler Varun Aaron suggests Shreyas Iyer as the most suitable replacement for Tilak Varma.
• Aaron highlights Iyer's reliability and current role as ODI vice-captain, making him a crisis-time player.
• Ishan Kishan has scored 114 runs in 4 matches at number 3 with two half-centuries, making a T20 comeback after November 2023.

Why It Matters: Varun Aaron backs Shreyas Iyer over Ishan Kishan as the ideal replacement for an injured Tilak Varma.
