Tollywood superstar Chiranjeevi recently met Indian cricketer Tilak Varma on the sets of his upcoming film, *Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu*. The meeting was a gesture of appreciation for Tilak’s outstanding performance in the Asia Cup 2025 final, where his heroics helped India secure a victory over Pakistan. Chiranjeevi personally welcomed Tilak, engaged in conversation, and praised his match‑winning knock.
During the visit, Tilak also met other members of the film crew, including actress Nayanthara, director Anil Ravipudi, and producers Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela. A cake was cut in his honor, bearing the inscription “India’s Pride Tilak Varma.” He was further felicitated with a garland, a bouquet, and a shawl.
Tilak’s performance in the Asia Cup 2025 final was remarkable: he scored an unbeaten 69 off 53 balls, leading India to a five‑wicket win and earning the “Player of the Match” award for his pressure‑filled innings. Throughout the tournament, he amassed 213 runs from six innings at an average of 71 and a strike‑rate of 131.48.
The 22‑year‑old has been selected for India’s T20I squad for the upcoming series in Australia, beginning on 29 October—his first tour Down Under. In T20Is, Tilak has already compiled 962 runs from 30 innings at an average of 53.44 and a strike‑rate of 149.14, including two centuries and four half‑centuries, with a top score of an unbeaten 120. His selection for the Australia series reflects his impressive form in the Asia Cup, and he will look to maintain this momentum and cement his place in the T20I side. With his talent and dedication, Tilak is expected to make a significant contribution to the Indian team in the upcoming series.
