The southpaw smacked nine boundaries and four sixes during his blistering knock.He gave Mumbai a lifeline as it didn't look likely that the five-time IPL champions could set a target of 172 after the start that they had got.Fans on Twitter were thrilled to see Tilak Varma deliver on the promise that he had shown for MI last season. Many also believe he is arguably the future of the Indian team given the talent and temperament that he showed.Here are some of the reactions:ႽẘΔS_ЯÍႽ🇮🇳@mrchampion036zTilak My Star Boi, The Words is Not enough for you Today 🛐.

A very smart player who takes calculated risks and always values his wicket. A young talent with a bright future ahead.Tilak Varma and Nehal Wadhera stabilized MI's stuttering inningsMumbai Indians have often found it difficult to start well in an IPL season and it seemed to be a similar case on Sunday as they lost their first three wickets for just 20 runs. Openers Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma continued to struggle and Suryakumar Yadav just seemed to be a shadow of himself.But Tilak Varma got the support of young Nehal Wadhera as the duo added a crucial half-century stand for the fifth wicket to bail the team out of danger.Some crucial contributions from Wadhera (21) and Arshad Khan (15*) proved to be a great support act for Varma's stellar knock.Mumbai will need to pick up a cluster of wickets to give themselves a chance of winning the match.Mumbai Indians XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Cameron Green, Tim David, Nehal Wadhera, Hrithik Shokeen, Arshad Khan, Piyush Chawla, and Jofra Archer.Royal Challengers Bangalore XI: Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Michael Bracewell, Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Karn Sharma, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, and Reece Topley.
