Team India has suffered a big setback before the India-New Zealand series. Tilak Verma has been dropped from the first 3 matches of the 5-match series. Let us tell you that Tilak was discharged from the hospital on Thursday morning and his health is fine. He will return to Hyderabad tomorrow. After their symptoms resolve and their wounds heal, they will return to physical training and gradually return to practicing their skills.
But he is out of the first three T20 matches against New Zealand. However, his availability in the last two T20 matches will depend on how much progress he makes in training and skill practice. Let us tell you that Indian batsman Tilak Verma has undergone surgery in the lower abdomen after complaining of pain after the Vijay Hazare Trophy match against Bengal in Rajkot on Tuesday. Due to which he will not play the initial match.
BCCI confirmed
BCCI said, ‘Tilak has been ruled out of the first three T20 matches against New Zealand. A decision on his availability for the remaining two matches will be taken based on his progress and return to training. The fourth and fifth matches between India and New Zealand will be played on 28 and 31 January respectively.
T20 series starting from 21st January
The T20 series against New Zealand will start from January 21 in Nagpur, followed by matches in Raipur, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam and Thiruvananthapuram. This series is the final preparation for the T20 World Cup to be held in India-Sri Lanka in February. In Tilak’s absence, the team management may have to make changes in the middle order. Its first match will be between India and America in Mumbai. India will play its second match against Namibia on 12 February in Delhi.
These three players can replace Tilak Verma
Shreyas Iyer is fit. There is always discussion about them. He has not been included in the Indian fleet for the upcoming tournament. 31-year-old Iyer is also a perfect number four batsman like Tilak. He has also proved his usefulness while playing at this position. In such a situation, there will be nothing surprising if he is included in the team.
Gill is another name but due to continuous flop performance he was suddenly dropped from the team. Now that Tilak is ill. There is a possibility of his coming into the team once again. The whole world is well aware of Gill’s class. He has the power to win the match on his own. Informed batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad is also in the race. Batting at number four in the recently concluded ODI series against South Africa, he has also scored a century. In such a situation, if he gets a chance in the team, he has the power to compensate for Tilak well.
