Tilak Varma Retires Hurt, Suryakumar Shocked – Video Goes Viral!

In the IPL match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Mumbai Indians (MI) held in Lucknow, LSG defeated MI by 12 runs. One of the key moments of the match was when young MI batter Tilak Varma unexpectedly retired hurt during the final overs.

Coach Mahela Jayawardene informed Suryakumar Yadav about Tilak’s retirement, and Surya was visibly shocked, asking “Why?” in disbelief. This surprising moment was caught on camera and is now going viral on social media.

After Tilak left the field, Mitchell Santner came in but only faced two balls. Fans and analysts are questioning the decision, saying such moves could impact a young player’s confidence.

Tilak Varma was MI’s second-highest run-scorer last season with 416 runs, just behind Rohit Sharma. He has also made a mark in T20s for India with 749 runs in 25 matches, including two centuries, both scored on the South Africa tour.

Many cricket fans feel MI management made a mistake by pulling him out mid-match.

In the end, Mumbai Indians couldn’t chase down the target of 203 runs, finishing at 191/5 in 20 overs. Captain Hardik Pandya scored 28 runs and took 5 wickets but couldn’t take his team to victory.
