Tilak Verma had scored a brilliant century in the third T20 match between India and South Africa in Centurion. He completed his century in 51 balls and scored unbeaten 107 runs in 56 balls at a strike rate of 191.07. During this, Tilak also hit 8 fours and 7 sixes. After this brilliant innings, he faced unbearable pain. The reason for this is his head injury. Actually, he was standing on the boundary during Team India's fielding. In the last over, a ball went to him in the air and while trying to catch it, his head hit the ground hard.

A painful 'accident' happened while saving the boundary.

The Indian team, which was defending the score of 219, had to save 24 runs in the last match and the ball was in the hands of Arshdeep Singh. On the first ball he gave 1 run on leg bye. But on the very next ball, Marco Younson, who was looking dangerous, played an excellent shot over the cover. Tilak Verma, who was fielding on the cover boundary, jumped and tried to save it from being hit for six. In the process, he fell headlong on the field and hit his head hard.

The collision was so painful that he lay there holding his head. After this the physio examined him, after which he continued fielding. After the match was over, Tilak gave an injury update. He told that there is nothing to worry about, he is completely fine. Regarding the catch, he said that due to the light he could not see the ball properly, hence could not judge it. Then it became difficult to catch.
