Former cricketers Ravi Shastri and Sandeep Patil on Friday backed youngster Tilak Varma to be included in India`s middle-order for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. The mega event will be held in India from October 5 to November 19.
Shastri said the 20-year-old Varma is at an advantageous position because he is a left-hander. Speaking on Star Sports, Shastri said, "I`m very impressed with Tilak Varma. Very, very impressed. And I want a left-hander. So, if I`m looking for a left-hander in the middle order, like Yuvraj Singh and before that was Suresh Raina at five, I would really look in that direction (of Varma).
