Tilak Varma produced a maximum T20 blow to the Virat Kohli style in Chennai to achieve an incredible victory of India against England in the second T20I. With the IPL 2025 not far away, there are some conclusions for the Mumbai Indians of this current model that India has been following under Suryakumar Yadav.
Last year, in nine of 14 games, the Mumbai Indians had Suryakumar Yadav in 3th position 3. Naman Dhir hit the position in the remaining five games without much success. But, ironically, Sureyakumar was not successful since 3th place, making only 187 races with an average of just over 20.
Meanwhile, Tilak Varma, hitting between 4 and 6 throughout the season, was the second largest racing scorer for me (a race below Rohit Sharma) with 416 races with an average of 41.6, maintaining a rate of Strike of 149.64.
Obviously, the season was not good for me, since they ended at the bottom of the table and the inability of the batting unit to click was one of the main reasons behind its fall. While the team, like the remaining nine, has suffered a restructuring after the mega auction, there is a sheet that the Mumbai Indians can take advantage of the new Indian model under the command of Southakumar Yadav, the captain of the T20I, for renew your strategy for IPL 2025.
The smart switch of India with Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav
Under Sky, Tilak Varma has often been promoted to number 3 in the Indian alignment and the captain descended in the order to accommodate left -handed in the key position under the openers.
There is still no conclusive evidence that confirms that India is looking to keep a lhb-rhb in the middle after the former fall. But when the lands have fallen at least towards the end of the power game, India has made sure to try to gather a LHB-RHB whenever possible. This is likely to counteract the threat of rotation, but they have not yet been very consistent with this to underline it as a well thought out strategy.
The initial step occurred after Gqeberha in South Africa, when Suryakumar declared that Tilak had requested the ascent.
“He (Tilak) came to my room in Gqeberha and said: Give me a chance at number 3, I want to do well and told him to leave and express yourself. He asked and fulfilled it, ”Sky said after the Tilak century in Centurion.
However, after his last winning blow in Chennai, Tilak said he was prepared to hit anywhere in alignment.
Can the Mumbai Indians adopt this approach?
The clarity of thought and the ability to change the march make Tilak a very tempting option in position number 3. With the threat of Sky to follow, this simple exchange could unlock all the intensity of this Mumbai batting alignment in the IPL in the IPL 2025.

The recent Tilak feats also show an improved capacity against the high rhythm, with the left -hander facing Jofra Archer for 30 races in nine balls in Chennai, including a carefree pass of six in a installment of 150 km/h.
The other face of this is Southumum’s own form, which has had allegations slightly lately, and a stable batting position just behind the openers with some power overs -game overs could actually benefit it.
Will Mumbai adopt a horsepower approach for courses to maintain a LHB-RHB? Rohit Sharma and possibly Ryan Rickelton would open for the Mumbai Indians and, depending on who is fired, I could send one of Sky or Tilak. It remains to be seen what path they take in the IPL 2025.
