Tilak Varma Responds to Strike Rate Criticism Amid India's T20I Challenges
India's T20I vice-captain Tilak Varma addressed criticism over his recent low strike rate, emphasizing that his batting approach adapts to match situations and team needs. He highlighted challenges faced during tours of Ireland and England, where early wickets forced him to anchor innings rather than attack. Varma also attributed India's recent T20I losses partly to limited overseas exposure and stressed the team's focus on regaining momentum ahead of the Zimbabwe series, with new players added to strengthen the squad.
