Delhi: The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of England, where they are playing a five -match Test series against the host team. Meanwhile, some Indian players are also participating in county cricket in England, including names like Ishaan Kishan and Tilak Verma. Tilak is playing for Hampshire in this county season and he has caught everyone’s attention while batting brilliantly in his debut match. Tilak has appeared in red ball cricket after a long time.

In the county championship, the left-handed batsman’s performance in his debut was capable. The match between Essex and Hampshire is being played from 22 June, in which Tilak played his first match for Hampshire. Batting first, Essex’s team was all out for 296 runs. In response, Hampshire’s start was nothing special and the team lost two wickets for just 34 runs. In this difficult situation, Tilak, who came to bat at number four, took over the innings of the team while playing in a restrained style.

By the end of the second day’s play, Hampshire had scored 293 runs for 4 wickets and Tilak Verma was unbeaten on 98 runs in 234 balls. In this innings, he has hit 11 fours and 3 sixes. Now on the third day, he will have a golden opportunity to complete a century.

Verma has already made her debut in ODIs and T20 Internationals for the Indian team. He has played 4 ODIs and 25 T20 matches for India so far, although he has not got a chance in Test cricket yet. In IPL 2025, Tilak played for Mumbai Indians, but his performance was average. He scored a total of 343 runs in 16 matches this season at an average of 31.18, including only two half -centuries.

Tilak Verma has signed four county matches with Hampshire. Now it will be interesting to see how he performs in the remaining matches.
