Batter Tilak Varma said his father was an electrician who'd work from morning to evening just to send him to cricket academy. "Sometimes, I didn't have a bat...I'd ask my father...He always said he'll provide it," added Tilak. "From the time Tilak was a child, he always had bat in...hand...When he slept, he'd keep bat...by his side," stated Tilak's father.
