‘Ye baat bhi sahi boli hai’ – Fans react to Harsha Bhogle’s opinion on Hardik Pandya denying Tilak Varma his second half century in 3rd T20I against West Indies

Indian cricket fans are still talking about Tilak Varma’s missed fifty in India’s third T20I match versus West Indies. At Providence Stadium, captain Hardik Pandya completed the game while the youngster concluded the innings unbeaten on 49 runs. Fans are sympathising with Tilak while criticising Hardik for depriving the young player an opportunity to score fifty.

Harsha Bhogle, a well-known cricket expert, thinks that the fuss around the ‘Tilak Varma missing fifty’ discussion is needless. The cricket community, he argued, is overly focused on individual accomplishments in competitive sports like cricket, thus achieving 50 in T20s shouldn’t be seen as a milestone.

Harsha Bhogle took to Twitter to express his views on this topic. He said, “I am puzzled by the discussion around Tilak Varma missing out on a 50. It isn’t a landmark, in fact, other than a century (which is rare), there are no landmarks in T20 cricket. We are far too obsessed with individual achievement within a team sport. I don’t believe the 50s should be recorded in individual stats in T20 cricket. If you have made enough runs quickly enough (avg and SR), that is all that matters.”

AB de Villiers reacts to Harsha Bhogle’s tweet

AB de Villiers, the renowned cricketer from South Africa, responded to Harsha’s Tweet as well as endorsed his take on the “Tilak Varma missing 50” discussion. During his brilliant cricket career, AB not only set several individual big records but also won 39 Player of the Match awards in 420 international matches. He said, “Thank you thank you thank you. Finally, someone says it!”

The 20-year-old Mumbai Indians batter has had an incredible beginning in his international cricket journey and currently sits atop the T20I series scoring charts against the West Indies. He was India’s top run-getter during the first two games and scored 39 from just 22 in his maiden game. India are still trailing the West Indies after the first three games of the T20I series and would look to win the series this weekend in Florida, United States of America.
