Ever since being an integral member of India\u2019s T20 World Cup title defence, Tilak Varma had endured a quiet run in the Indian Premier League. On Wednesday, however, after rediscovering his touch and helping Mumbai Indians snap a four-match losing streak, Tilak offered a glimpse into the contrasting captaincy styles he has experienced this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, Surya (Suryakumar Yadav, India captain) was a bit tactical. And Hardik bhai (Pandya), he always backs the players and himself. If you see the last game, he was saying \u2018you will do it, you will do it\u2019 and show it,\u201d Tilak said ahead of MI\u2019s clash against Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people have asked me what Hardik was talking to you. He keeps motivating the players. He motivates the players with his energy. Hardik bhai\u2019s captaincy is the same. It\u2019s kind of that energy. And Surya bhai is more into the tactical side. So, both are good in their aspects. And I am enjoying Surya bhai\u2019s captaincy and I am enjoying Hardik bhai\u2019s captaincy as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tilak\u2019s words came on the back of a defining knock in Ahmedabad, where he hammered an unbeaten 101 off 47 balls \u2014 an innings that turned the tide after a slow start of 19 off 22 deliveries.<\/p>\n

He credited Rohit Sharma for helping him navigate the early phase. \u201cI was talking especially with Rohit Bhai. He was saying to me that, we know and everyone knows what you can do after playing those 15-20 balls, so just do this,\u201d Tilak said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t look at the situation. Don\u2019t look at anything. First, play 15 balls. And after that, whatever happens, we\u2019ll see. That gave me confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
