Tilak Verma's sensation... created history in T20 cricket by scoring a third consecutive century, and made 3 amazing records
At this time, Indian batsmen are constantly struggling in Test cricket. Against Bangladesh, the batsmen did not look in good rhythm, and then against New Zealand, Team India's batting was a complete flop. Now on the Australia tour, Team India collapsed for just 150 runs in the first innings itself. India's experienced and young batsmen have looked troubled in the long format, but the batsmen's dominance continues in the short format. Young batsman Tilak Verma is especially showing his dominance in this matter. After scoring 2 consecutive centuries on the South Africa tour, Tilak has now scored his third consecutive T20 century. Tilak scored a record-breaking century in the very first match of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Created history by scoring the third consecutive century
Just a few days ago during the South Africa tour, Tilak Verma created history by scoring centuries in two consecutive T20 matches. He became the youngest and only the second batsman from India to do so. Tilak has now continued his excellent form in the domestic T20 tournament as well. Tilak, who is captaining Hyderabad in the Mushtaq Ali T20 Trophy, created history by playing an astonishing innings of 151 runs in just 67 balls against Meghalaya in the very first match of the tournament.
In its first match of the tournament which started on Saturday 23 November, Hyderabad batted first and scored a huge score of 248 runs by losing only 4 wickets and the reason for this was captain Tilak. The left-handed batsman continued his South African form and scored 151 runs in just 67 balls, which included 14 fours and 10 sixes. With this, Tilak also became the first batsman in the history of T20 cricket to score 3 consecutive centuries. Earlier in South Africa, he had played innings of 107 (not out) and 120 (not out) in 2 consecutive matches.
Apart from this, Tilak Verma also made some more records. His 151 runs is also a new record for the biggest innings in the history of this tournament. In this case, Tilak broke the record of Shreyas Iyer, who played an innings of 147 runs in 2019. Not only this, he also became the Indian batsman to score the highest score in T20 cricket. At the same time, this is the third-highest score of any batsman as a captain in the history of T20 cricket. Only Aaron Finch (172) and Glenn Maxwell (154 not out) are ahead of him in this matter.
