Against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Tilak Verma produced an incredible comeback. He achieved a remarkable strike rate of 193 while scoring 56 runs off only 29 balls. Despite losing by 12 runs, the Mumbai Indians were on the verge of victory because to Tilak’s outstanding effort.

This followed criticism for his lacklustre innings against the Lucknow Super Giants, in which he was retired in the middle of the inning. Tilak chased a goal of 204 runs in the match, but he only scored 25 runs off 23 balls. There were many discussions and issues raised by his retirement. After the RCB game, Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya said that Tilak had been playing with a finger injury throughout the Lucknow match. “It was a calculated move.

The coach decided it would be best to bring in a new player who could make huge shots since Tilak was injured and couldn’t bat properly,” Hardik revealed.

Mahela Jayawardene, the head coach, supported the retirement choice as well. He claims that, like a football substitute, it was a part of a plan to add a new player for improved performance. Despite the strategy’s failure, Tilak’s performance against RCB demonstrated his fortitude and capacity to bounce back from setbacks.
