Big news incoming, Paltan!

Our starboy Tilak Varma has been handed the captain’s armband for the second and third one-day matches of the upcoming Australia A tour of India 2025, scheduled to take place on October 3 and October 5, respectively.

At just 22, Tilak has already shown he is leadership material, leading Hyderabad in domestic competitions. Cool, composed and always ready to put the team first. This captaincy call-up is just the recognition he deserves and we couldn’t be prouder! 🫶

Numbers don’t lie - 1,548 runs in 38 innings in List A, laced with five centuries and nine half-centuries. Get ready for a repeat telecast of this TV show!

This chapter is not just about leading the side, but also about showing that he’s ready for the responsibilities. If there’s one thing we know about Tilak, it’s that he thrives when the stakes are high.

Go well, champ. The #OneFamily is right behind you. 💙
