India captain Rohit Sharma talked about the potential of young Tilak Varma and also answered whether the youngster could make it to the Indian squad for the upcoming World Cup 2023 to be played from October 5 onwards.

The left-handed batter did wonders for the team in the first three T20Is against West Indies, playing with a responsible yet attractive style of batting. His success made many wonder whether the 20-year-old batter can be considered the No. 4 spot in the Indian team for the ODI World Cup 2023.

This led to Rohit Sharma, who is on a break after the West Indies Tests and ODI series, to be asked about the possibility of Tilak Varma being drafted into the Indian squad for the World Cup.

"He looks very promising. I have seen him for two years now, he has got the hunger, and that is the most important thing. In him I can see, for the age that he is of, he is quite mature. He knows his batting so well. When I speak with him I understand that the boy knows his batting - where he has to hit, what he has to do in that period.

That is all that I will say about him, I do not know about the World Cup and all, but definitely the guy is talented and he showed it in these few games that he has played for India," Rohit told PTI.  

Rohit Sharma also hoped that Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul regain their fitness in time for the World Cup as the Indian team is on the lookout for a batter at no.4.
