Ever since being an integral member of India’s T20 World Cup title defence, Tilak Varma had endured a quiet run in the Indian Premier League. On Wednesday, Tilak offered a glimpse into the contrasting captaincy styles he has experienced this season.

“To be honest, Surya (Suryakumar Yadav, India captain) was a bit tactical. And Hardik bhai (Pandya), he always backs the players and himself. If you see the last game, he was saying ‘you will do it, you will do it’ and show it,” Tilak said ahead of MI’s clash against Chennai Super Kings.
