Former Indian bowler RP Singh was among the spectators who were blown away by 20-year-old Tilak Varma's T20I debut for India against West Indies on August 3.
He lauded the southpaw for his 22-ball-39 calling it 'an extremely good knock'.
Speaking on Jio Cinema, Singh said, 'I feel the future (of Indian cricket) is hidden in him. We are all searching for a left-handed middle-order batter, and Tilak Varma can be seen from that angle. He opened his account with a six and then hit a second six as well. The best six was the third one that he hit over cover. It is not that easy to hit a six over extra cover.'
After making his debut, Varma said 'It was a childhood dream of mine to play for India. I never thought that the opportunity would come so early for me.'
