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

During the toss, it was noted that Tilak Varma is not included in the starting MI playing 11 for today’s MI vs SRH match. However, he is absolutely fit and part of the five substitute members list out of which one can be used as an Impact Player at any moment in the game. The southpaw batsman missed the last few games of the ongoing T20 tournament for the Mumbai Indians due to injury. Tilak, an outstanding player for Mumbai Indians in the ongoing IPL 2023 season, has been consistently delivering remarkable performances. With a total of 274 runs in nine matches, he has showcased his exceptional skills, maintaining an impressive strike rate of nearly 160. Thus, Varma will come out as an Impact Player for MI during the second innings.

“We are gonna chase. Just the nature of the pitch. It is a little dry as well. Whatever it has to happen will happen in the first innings. Shokeen is not playing. Kartikeya is in. It is a tricky one. We just want to win the game and not think about how to do it. Winning gives us a chance. Not looking too far ahead. We have talked in the team meeting what to do. We have played an afternoon game before. We are aware of what the pitch and the conditions here. You just need to play well to win,” said Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma during the toss.
