Tilak Varma discusses how he has changed his approach after moving down the batting order in T20Is, describing the shift from opener to a finisher role. He says he has had to adjust to the different demands of batting at the lower end of the innings while still working to add value to the team.

Across the outlets, Varma is presented as acknowledging the challenges of receiving fewer opportunities in the top order. He credits past experiences of batting lower down as part of why he can build finishing skills and remain adaptable. In a related interview, he also says there is “no option” but to bat at positions like 5 or 6, and that he is focusing on practice, mental preparation, and expanding his shot-making variety to suit the middle order.

While both sources emphasize the same role change and his determination to succeed, they differ slightly in emphasis: one highlights his overall acceptance of the finisher responsibilities, and the other focuses more on the practical steps—training and mindset—behind his adaptation.
