After Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, now Vijay Hazare Trophy is being played. It has started from 21st December. However, its beginning has been like a nightmare for star player Tilak Verma. Tilak Verma had recently created history by scoring two consecutive T20 centuries against South Africa, but now Tilak's bat has become rusty. In this Vijay Hazare Trophy, he has had two consecutive accidents one after the other. In his second match of Vijay Hazare Trophy also, Tilak returned to the pavilion without opening his account.
22 year old Tilak Verma is the star player of Mumbai Indians. He has also created a stir for India in T-20. Whereas these days Tilak is playing with Hyderabad team in Vijay Hazare Trophy. However, not even a single run has come from his bat in two matches. In the first match against Nagaland, he did not score a single run while facing three balls and was out on 0. Whereas now the same story was repeated with them in the match against Mumbai.
In the match being played between Mumbai and Hyderabad at Narendra Modi Stadium B Ground in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad got bundled out for 169 runs while batting first. Tilak's bat again remained silent. Mumbai bowler Atharva Ankolekar showed him the way to the pavilion. Tilak could not even open the account after playing two balls. It is noteworthy that Atharva Ankolekar's mother Vaidehi has worked as a bus conductor. After the death of Atharva's father, Vaidehi helped her son in making a career in cricket by working as a bus conductor in Mumbai.
Recently, Team India had toured South Africa. Then Tilak Verma created a ruckus with his bat. He scored two T20 centuries one after the other against South Africa. Whereas he also played a brilliant inning of 150 runs against Meghalaya in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
