Tilak Varma Confirmed Fit for T20 World Cup After Successful Recovery
Mumbai Indians and India middle-order sensation Tilak Varma has successfully recovered from surgery and is set to return to action for the upcoming T20 World Cup. Varma missed the recent T20I series against New Zealand due to the recovery period following testicular surgery, but his inclusion in the final squad confirms his fitness ahead of the marquee tournament co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
The young Hyderabad cricketer has been a consistent and crucial performer for the Men in Blue since his debut, often stabilizing the middle order. His return significantly strengthens India’s batting depth as they prepare to defend their title on home soil. Varma previously played a vital role in India's Asia Cup 2025 victory, highlighting his ability to perform under pressure.
His availability is also excellent news for the Mumbai Indians camp, where Varma has established himself as a key fixture. Fans will be eager to see him carry his international form back into the IPL setup following the World Cup, ensuring the team retains a reliable and dynamic presence in the middle overs.
