Record alert! Tilak Varma joins elite club with India's best catch ratio in T20Is
Tilak Varma achieved a significant milestone by making 50 catches in T20Is against West Indies. This accomplishment makes him the fifth Indian fielder to reach this landmark. His efficiency is notable, with a dismissals-per-innings ratio of 0.757, the best among Indian players. In the match, he was involved in an unusual run-out but contributed 28 runs. India eventually won the match by 14 runs,…
During the third T20I between India and West Indies in Indore, Tilak Varma made an uncharacteristic mistake during the 17th over. Axar Patel hit a shot towards the deep backward square-leg boundary, and Kamil Pooran caught the ball and stopped it from reaching the fence. However, the India players believed it was a four and didn't move back.
When Pooran threw the ball towards the batter's end, Axar Patel had already reached his crease. Tilak Varma, on the other hand, had no idea what was happening and was run out by Shai Hope after the third umpire confirmed the boundary.
