Tilak Varma said moving down the order has changed his mindset and he now aims to hit boundaries from ball one. The India batter expressed confidence after recent performances against Pakistan.
Varma highlighted his collaborative leadership role with Shreyas Iyer and recalled his success in crucial matches against Pakistan. He focuses on scoring for the team and is known for finishing well under pressure.
He has put in a lot of work on his spin bowling and said he is ready to bowl when required. In the end overs the bowler is under more pressure, he noted.

Varma's spin bowling work could make him a genuine middle-order-plus-fifth-bowler option, giving India a way to keep both a specialist spinner and an extra batter in the XI without thinning the batting depth.
