Mohammad Azharuddin makes Test demand for Tilak Varma after Christchurch heroics

Former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin has publicly advocated for Tilak Varma to receive a red-ball opportunity following the youngster's match-winning half-century in the second T20 international against New Zealand. Varma anchored a successful chase at Hagley Oval by scoring an unbeaten fifty under immense pressure after India slumped to seventy runs for five wickets during the eleventh over.

He shared vital partnerships with Naman Dhir and Nitish Kumar Reddy to secure a thrilling four-wicket victory and a two-nil series lead.
