NAVI MUMBAI: Mumbai Indians' latest discovery Tilak Varma, who smashed an amazing 33-ball 61, inclusive of three fours and five sixes on Saturday against Rajasthan Royals at the DY Patil Stadium, went through times but persisted with cricket, his father Nagaraju, an electrician by profession, told TOI from Hyderabad.
"We had limited resources financially, but Tilak kept his focus on cricket at all times. It was Tilak's coach Salam Bayas who believed in his talent, and that changed his life for good," Nagaraju, 52, told this paper.
