Coach Mumbai Indians Mahela Jayawardene said that the decision to retire Tilak Varma was a tactical call because the left -handed dough tried to go against Lucknow Super Giants. In the penultimate overlap of the game, he decided to make a brave call that Tilak had pulled out of the game after he came as an impact.
Tilak scored 25 out of 23 balls With high -pressure persecution and he tried to find any momentum at the eco -stadium when he lost my match of 12 runs. The decision to remove Tilak was given a lot of criticism when he became the fourth player in the history of IPL to retire and Jayawarden was asked at a press conference after the match.
When he talked to reporters, the coach told me that Tilak tried to go but couldn’t get hits out of the way. JayaWardene said they were waiting for the last few crossed when they hoped that Tilak would be able to bounce after spending a lot of time in the middle.

As soon as they realized that things were left, Jayawardene said they needed some fresh in the middle.
“Tilak detonated well for us when we lost the goal and in cooperation with Suryakumar. He tried to go, but he just couldn’t get there. We were waiting for the last few breaks and hoped that he had been in the middle since it was possible, but it was possible.” But “said JayaWardene.
“Purely tactical, don’t read too much”
The coach told me that the decision was purely tactical and there is nothing to read in the call.
“It was purely tactical. We just take one guy and bring another in.
I will be on Monday 7th April in action against RCB.
