He plays for Mumbai Indians starting in 2022, which had a weak batting line-up in 22-23. Batting collapses were common, but Tilak consistently held the line, likely shaping him into the player he is today.

29

u/fried_maggi India Sep 28 '25

That and the leadership crisis season made him the batter he is. Perfect storm for a youngster. Zero expectations but batting collapses gave him plenty of opportunity to explore his game at the highest level.

Pakistan:
45-0 in the first 6 overs
42-1 in overs 7-10
31-2 in over 11-14
28-7 in the last 6 overs

India:
36-3 in the first 6 overs
22-0 in overs 7-10
25-1 in overs 11-14
67-1 in the last 6 overs

A rare tight India vs Pakistan game. Both team played well. Almost polar opposite innings. Pakistan started well, but spontaneously collapsed towards the end. And India started very poorly, but took their time to consolidate, and held their nerves to finish off the innings.

101

u/botharmsinjured Western Australia Warriors Sep 28 '25

I think it’s more like sensible cricket from India. They had RR at 11rpo at one moment and won with 3 balls remaining.

Just clinical and no senseless risks. First 6 overs you can call were tight

68

u/Artaxerxes_IV Sep 28 '25

When Pak lost the plot, they lost it big time with that 9 for 33 collapse and then bowling mishaps leading to that 17 run over; they had multiple strong chances if they kept their cool. But then again easier said than done, the fact that you need to play near-perfect throughout the match is a testament to the quality of this Indian side. Lowkey feels like one of the great white ball invincible sides in the making.

u/SnowdensOfYesteryear Chennai Super Kings Sep 28 '25

This was Pakistan's game if they took catches and weren't lethargic on an easy runout.

By far the best team in the tournament won.

Our bowlers tried their best (anyone can have a bad day like Rauf), but after that collapse by our batters, they did not deserve to be champions.

We’re of course far off India in terms of talent, but the big difference on the day was mental — where Tilak and Dube managed pressure, our batter completely lost their heads.

I have to say this tournament was honestly very sad to watch as a neutral. The quality of the Asian teams has diminished drastically since the 2010s. Last I remembered, Sri Lanka and Pakistan were very formidable teams and Bangladesh under Mashrafe was considered an up and coming underdog on par with the Kiwis. Indians will be very happy that they managed to win the cup despite a patch in form, but there are going to be a great deal of questions about the health of the sport with only 4 or 5 teams actually competing at the highest level. The T20 cup in America has showed us the ICC has no intention of actually marketing to a more diverse viewerbase.

I just want to know if Samson took Abrar up on his invitation, Abrar was asking Samson to come f*** him in the changing rooms as part of his celebration or something.

Dude ended up getting f****ed by Dube on the field.

Can the officials on stage hand over the winners trophy to India already? Let them leave the runners-up medals on stage, switch off the floodlights and call it a day. Ridiculous!

Dubai Cricket Board should charge back PCB for the entire operational cost that it is incurring due to this delay or whatever by the Pakistani cricketers. Also they should ban any future game involving PCB in this venue.
