Tilak Varma to score over 19.5 runs

The 20-year-old left-handed batsman Tilak Varma was Mumbai Indians top run-scorer last season and continues to impress with his stroke play. Varma has been fantastic in the current season of IPL so far and according to a former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, the southpaw is expected to get a call from the Indian team in the next 6 to 8 months. Varma brought his A-game out in the first game against RCB and also scored a crucial 41 run knock against DC in the last game. His scores this season read 84*, 22 & 41 runs, each of which falls above our target. This sums up to 147 runs in three games at an average of about 73.50. He is MI’s leading run-scorer at the moment. In his 17 innings IPL career, the southpaw has accumulated 544 runs at an average of about 41.80. He has played 38 career T20 innings so far and accumulated 1222 runs at an average of about 38.18. Against KKR, the youngster averages close to 44.00. His numbers at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai are impressive too. Tilak Varma has scored 123 runs in five games at an average of about 30.80. Varma will be a glue for MI in the middle order and his current run of form suggests that scoring over 19 runs will be a cakewalk for the youngster.
