India’s star batter Tilak Varma has emphasized the crucial role of flexibility within the T20I batting lineup as the team gears up for the T20 World Cup. Varma stated that while most batsmen are adaptable to various positions, the opening slots remain relatively fixed. This strategic flexibility is seen as key to India’s aggressive batting approach, which they aim to solidify for the upcoming global tournament. Varma himself expressed his willingness to bat anywhere from number 3 to 6, depending on the team’s tactical needs. He highlighted that such decisions are often situation-based, citing instances where players successfully adapted to different roles for the benefit of the team. He also commented on the pitch conditions in Dharamsala, predicting a high-scoring game despite the cold, and mentioned the team’s preparation for dew affecting play later in the evening.
