India batter Tilak Varma on Saturday underlined the team management’s push for a flexible batting order, saying most players are ready to bat anywhere depending on match situations.
With India continuing to experiment in the middle-order in the build-up to next year’s T20 World Cup, Tilak said adaptability has become a key requirement in the shortest format.
“Everyone is flexible except the openers. I am up for batting at three, four, five or six — wherever the team prefers for me,” Tilak said during the pre-match press conference.
“If the team feel a particular move is tactically best, everyone goes with the team.”
Drawing parallels with recent examples, Tilak said such decisions are situation-based rather than role-driven. “One-off games keep happening. Axar Patel has already done the same thing and he did well there. It depends on the situation,” he said, citing examples of similar roles being successfully executed in recent international tournaments.
