Tilak Varma's Return Sparks T20 World Cup Selection Dilemma, Says SKY

  • Suryakumar Yadav (SKY) indicates Tilak Varma's return could complicate T20 World Cup squad selection, with all 15 members being playing XI contenders.
  • SKY highlights India's strategic shift towards batting depth, aiming for an extra specialist batter at No. 7 or 8 for high-risk T20s.
  • The team plans a seven-batter plus all-rounder setup, with core bowlers delivering 16 overs and flexible options like Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube.
  • SKY embraces the pressure of playing a World Cup at home, viewing it as a rewarding responsibility and positive challenge to chase a historic back-to-back win.
  • He credits aggressive batters like Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson for simplifying his captaincy by playing true to their individual styles.

Why It Matters: Tilak Varma's potential return creates a selection headache for India's T20 World Cup squad, as SKY emphasizes batting depth and aggressive play.
