MI vs RCB IPL 2023: Why is Tilak Varma Not Playing Today’s Match IPL?
During the toss, it was revealed that Tilak Varma is once again not included in the MI playing 11 for today’s MI vs RCB match. Interestingly, he is not even part of the five substitute members list out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. He was not fit for the last game against Chennai Super Kings and it seems he is yet to recover from the same, not being available for selection today as well. On the other hand, Tilak had been performing really well for the Mumbai Indians so far in IPL 2023 having smashed as many as 274 runs from 9 matches at aa brilliant strike-rate of nearly 160 that includes a best score of 84 not out.
“We are going to bowl first. It’s been good for us, we have chased down targets here, it’s a good pitch. Looks like a typical Mumbai pitch with even grass covering and also a few patches. Not sure how it’s going to play, but we are hoping for the best. We understand the importance of this game, but what’s in our control is in our control. We need to play good cricket, rest will take care of itself. Archer is out, we got Jordan, he will make his debut today,” said Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma during the toss.
