Multiple reports quote an ex-BCCI selector making a comparison between India batter Tilak Varma and Rajat Patidar. The selector’s claim is that Varma’s current T20 performance does not compare similarly to Patidar’s, framing Varma as the more effective option this year.
Across the sources, the discussion centers on Varma’s T20I statistics for the year. He has scored 462 runs in 19 matches, with an average above 34 and a strike rate close to 149. His contributions include three half-centuries, and his best individual score is 60 not out.
The articles present this information as evidence supporting the selector’s view, but they do not provide additional details on selection decisions or broader head-to-head comparisons beyond the claimed contrast. The reports remain focused on Varma’s T20 output and the selector’s opinion that his impact is stronger than what the comparison implies for Patidar.
