At present, Indian batsmen are continuously struggling in Test cricket. Even against Bangladesh, the batsmen did not look in good form and then against New Zealand, Team India's batting was a complete flop. Now even on the Australia tour, Team India collapsed for just 150 runs in the first innings. India's experienced and young batsmen have looked troubled in the longer format but the batsmen continue to excel in the shorter format. Young batsman Tilak Verma is continuously showing his talent especially in this matter. After scoring two consecutive centuries on the South Africa tour, Tilak has now scored his third consecutive T20 century. Tilak scored a record-breaking century in the very first match of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Created history by scoring third consecutive century

Just a few days ago, during the South Africa tour, Tilak Verma had created history by scoring centuries in two consecutive T20 matches. He became the youngest and only the second batsman in India to do so. Tilak has now continued his excellent form in the domestic T20 tournament also. Tilak, who is captaining Hyderabad in the Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, created history by playing an astonishing inning of 151 runs in just 67 balls against Meghalaya in the very first match of the tournament.

In its first match of the tournament which started on Saturday 23rd November, Hyderabad, batting first, scored a big score of 248 runs losing only 4 wickets and the reason for this was Captain Tilak. The left-handed batsman continued his South African form and scored 151 runs in just 67 balls, which included 14 fours and 10 sixes. With this, Tilak also became the first batsman to score 3 consecutive centuries in the history of T20 cricket. Earlier in South Africa, he had played innings of 107 (not out) and 120 (not out) in two consecutive matches.

Indian who scored the highest score

Apart from this, Tilak Verma also made some other records. His 151 runs is also a new record for the biggest innings in the history of this tournament. In this matter, Tilak broke the record of Shreyas Iyer, who had played an inning of 147 runs in 2019. Not only this, he also became the Indian batsman who scored the highest score in T20 cricket. This is the third highest score by any batsman as captain in the history of T20 cricket. In this matter, only Aaron Finch (172) and Glenn Maxwell (154 not out) are ahead of him.
