What A Knock: Telugu Fire Burns IPL Alive!

The representation of the Telugu community in the IPL is primarily carried by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Tilak Varma. They happen to represent sunrise at Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, respectively, and great things were expected of them this season.  

Well, Nitish had already been performing reasonably well for Sunrisers Hyderabad this season, there were certain complaints about Tilak Varma not contributing enough to Mumbai Indians.

But this speculation was put to rest by Tilak last night as he played an absolutely sensational innings as he scored one of the greatest centuries in the history of the tournament.

At one point, Tilak was struggling with a scorecard reading 19 runs from 22 balls, and this was when he unfolded the beast within him. He accelerated faster than a Bugatti car as he scored scintillating century off just 45 balls. 

Tilak scored 19 run from the first 22 balls and he ended up scoring a sensational 82 runs from the remaining 23 balls in his innings. This is to be regarded as one of the fastest accelerations witnessed in the history of the tournament. 

Moreover, Tilak was able to complete his century within 45 balls, which projects a strike rate of over 220. He was a completely different beast in the second half of his innings, and he is being applauded by everyone for putting on a clinical performance with the bat last night.
