Though Tilak could not make a big impact in the first match as he got out trying to attack Tanveer Sangha, the youngster felt he would continue to back his strength.

“My mindset was that because a leg-spinner (Sangha) was bowling, I wanted to take charge as we needed ten runs per over.

“For the fast bowlers, a settled batter in Surya bhai (Suryakumar Yadav) was batting and knew he could (take them on).

“So that over I wanted to charge (against) the leg-spinner,” said Tilak about his game plan. “I have a role in the team playing at No. 5, and I have a clear mindset. If it is in my arc, I will go; otherwise, I will rotate,” he added.

Meanwhile, in a match in which more than 400 runs were scored, Australia’s Jason Behrendorff was the standout bowler with a spell of 4-1-25-1.

“I tried to see if there was any swing up front, which there was, and it is my main strength.
