GT vs MI: Why is Tilak Varma Not Playing Today’s IPL 2023 Match?

During the toss, it was revealed that Tilak Varma is not part of the MI playing 11 in this GT vs MI match on Tuesday. However, the southpaw batsman is absolutely fit and part of the five substitute members out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. Tilak has played some really impactful knocks in this IPL 2023 as he has notched up a total of 217 runs from 6 games at an amazing strike-rate of over 153 and a batting average of close to 45. Therefore, he will definitely come out as an Impact Player in the second innings during this game against Gujarat Titans.

“We are gonna bowl first. We saw the pitch, it was hard. They put a lot of water there. Want to make best use of the conditions. Start well early on and see where the game is heading. Games like that happen, we made some errors and we accepted that. It’s important how you come back from that situation, that’s critical. We had a good chat and hopefully we can turn things around. We’ve got 2 changes – Hrithik Shokeen misses out from the last game. Kumar Kartikeya is going to play. Jofra is not well. Riley is back,” said Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma during the toss.
