“The standout player is Tilak Varma. I said in the second or third game of the commentary that he's an Indian player in near future. He will be banging that door down. He's got that all-round ability, not just to finish off at the end, but the clarity of thought as well. When he comes out to bat, what impresses me the most is his first 10 balls, he's not afraid to take his chances and back his strength", Ravi Shastri said to ESPNcricinfo. 

“Rohit said a very good line at presentation in this one game. He said Tilak doesn't play the bowler, he plays the ball. He's not worried about the reputation, in the sense that he's not overawed. He plays what's on offer, irrespective of the name, which is there for everyone to see. He's got a wide range of shots, the temperament, he looked very good last year, but he's looking better this year. You watch for players who improve", Ravi Shastri further added.
