Watch: Tilak Varma Makes Perfect Start To T20I Career, Slams Consecutive Sixes Against West Indies

Tilak Varma made his debut for Indian cricket team during the first T20I match against West Indies on Thursday but the youngster looked completely at ease on the big stage. The left-hander pulled off a brilliant catch to dismiss Johnson Charles and while batting, he started his knock in the most explosive way possible. He took on Alzarri Joseph on the second ball of his innings and slammed him straight over deep square leg for a six. The commentators were all praise for him but before they could finish their thoughts, Tilak once again took the aerial route and cleared the deep mid-wicket boundary with ease for the second six. He ultimately ended up scoring 39 off just 22 deliveries.

West Indies stunned India by four runs to capture the opening Twenty20 International on Thursday as the tourists flopped in pursuit of a modest 150-run target.

Well-placed at 77-3 in the 11th over thanks to debutant Tilak Varma's top score of 39 and 21 from Suryakumar Yadav, India then lost six wickets for just 68 runs.
