About Tilak Varma
Tilak Varma is one of the brightest young batters in Indian cricket and the current vice-captain of India’s T20I side. Born in 2002 in Kukatpally, Hyderabad, to a father who worked as an electrician and a homemaker mother, he was spotted playing tennis-ball cricket at 11 by coach Salam Bayash, who trained him at the Legala Cricket Academy and even helped with transport for the long journey to practice. His elder brother is a national badminton champion.
Career highlights
A left-handed batter who also bowls part-time off spin, Tilak represents Hyderabad in domestic cricket and plays for Mumbai Indians in the IPL, where his composure in his very first seasons marked him out as a special talent. He progressed quickly into India’s T20 side and became known for consecutive T20I centuries and calm, mature innings under pressure.
His rise has been rapid: within a few years of his India debut, he was appointed vice-captain of the national T20I team, a mark of the confidence selectors place in his temperament and leadership.

Fans love Tilak’s maturity beyond his years and his humble background. The story of his coach’s support and his family’s sacrifices is one of the most inspiring in Indian cricket. In Hyderabad and the Telugu states, he is celebrated as a home-grown hero.
