IPL 2022: Irfan and Harbhajan feel Tilak Varma will serve Mumbai Indians for next ten years

Varma
–
the
19-year-old
left-handed
batsman
–
has
done
exceedingly
well
for
the
five-time
champions
in
the
most
exciting
IPL
season,
scoring
328
runs
including
2
fifties
in
10
innings.
He
is
also
the
top-scorer
for
the
franchise
in
a
struggling
season.

Speaking
on

Cricket
Live
on

Star
Sports,
Pathan
said,
“Whenever
a
youngster
does
well
he
starts
believing
that
he
belongs
here
and
once
he
gets
the
confidence
he
looks
to
cement
his
position
in
the
team.
We
are
seeing
the
same
with
Tilak
Varma.

“He’s
a
talented
left-hand
middle-order
batsman,
who
is
worth
gold
in
cricket.
Every
team
looks
to
have
a
left-hander
because
he
plays
spin
at
ease,
they
have
that
natural
ability
to
handle
those
angles
from
leg-spinners
and
left-arm
spinners.

“This
young
hero
will
become
a
superhero
for
MI
if
he
continues
to
play
like
this.
He’ll
play
for
the
franchise
for
the
next
ten
years.”

Former
India
spinner
Harbhajan
Singh
also
praised
MI
for
showing
faith
in
young
talents
like
Varma
as
well
as
Dewald
Brevis,
who
has
shown
glimpses
of
greatness.
Harbhajan
echoed
Pathan
and
said
the
duo
are
going
to
represent
the
team
for
the
next
ten
years.

While
Varma
has
top-scored
for
MI,
Brevis
has
lived
up
to
the
hype,
scoring
124
runs
in
6
innings,
which
also
included
some
massive
hits,
8
sixes
and
13
fours.

Speaking
on

Cricket
Live
on

Star
Sports,
Harbhajan
said,
“Dewald
Brevis
and
Tilak
Varma
are
like
investments
for
the
Mumbai
Indians.
MI
has
invested
correctly
in
these
young
talents
and
will
reap
the
benefits
for
many
years.

“Brevis
and
Tilak
have
shown
glimpses
of
their
talents
and
they
are
going
to
don
the
MI
jersey
for
the
next
ten
years.
We
have
witnessed
some
unbelievable
talents
this
season
and
the
confidence
which
these
youngsters
are
showing
is
simply
outstanding.”

Varma
and
Brevis
will
be
in
action
next
on
Monday
(May
9)
when
Mumbai
Indians
clash
with
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
at
the
Dr
DY
Patil
Stadium
in
Mumbai.
