Tilak Varma continued his sizzling form in the Asian Games semi-final clash against Bangladesh by stroking a sublime 55. However, what caught everyone’s attention was was adorable celebration after scoring his second T20I fifty. The southpaw showed his mom’s tattoo on his ribs to the cameraman and also dedicated his fifty to her. Not only that, but the 20-year-old also imitated Rohit Sharma’s daughter Samaira’s celebration.
Samaira is a fan of Tilak, and often the latter reciprocates the feelings for the toddler. During his first fifty against West Indies, the southpaw celebrated by gesturing towards Samaira.
Speaking about the semi-final match, India completely dominated the match against Bangladesh with bat and ball. Sai Kishore and Washington Sundar were the heroes with the ball, as the spin twins took five wickets amongst themselves. India restricted Bangladesh to just 98. Later on, Tilak Varma and Ruturaj Gaikwad made light work of the target as they completed the chase inside 10 overs.

Kishore has been a revelation with the ball in hand, as he has kept things tight and conceded below five runs per over. Jaiswal, Varma, and Rinku have been phenomenal with bat in hand, striking runs at over 150 strike rate.
