To show off his excitement for the new year, Tilak Varma posted a video of himself working out hard on Tuesday, January 2. Prior to the forthcoming series against Afghanistan, which is scheduled to commence on January 11, the young player showed his commitment to strength training, with his goal being fitness in 2024.
Tilak Varma video, though, was not immune to Suryakumar Yadav and Axar Patel’s lighthearted taunting. In the T20I series between Australia and India, Suryakumar, who was leading India, made fun of Tilak Varma for his caption, raising doubts about its veracity. Not long after, Axar entered the fray, declaring that the video was phony as it was shot on December 30 rather than the first of the year.
observing my resolution from the previous year. There’s no better way to begin 2024,” Tilak Varma said in the post’s caption.

Suryakumar posted in the comments, “Kaun batata hai teko ye sab nakli captions (Who gives you these fake captions)?” “The video is also phony since he recorded it on December 30th, aside from the caption, which is true about the training to usne 30 dec ko ki thi,” Axar continued.
Tilak made his debut for India in ODI and T20I cricket in 2023, following a spectacular season in the Indian Premier League in which he amassed 343 runs in 11 matches. While his performance in ODI cricket is somewhat alarming, he has done a respectable job in the shorter format. But the cricketer needs to improve because there are a lot of players vying for a middle-order berth in order to guarantee his spot for the T20 World Cup.
The forthcoming IPL and the series against Afghanistan will be crucial for Tilak to establish his credentials and break into the team. So far, the team management has supported the young player because they believe he may be a good sixth bowling option for the national squad.
