The left-hand batter was involved in two crucial partnerships with Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube to take the game out of Pakistan's hands. With his remarkable innings, Tilak also shut down the critics, as some fans raised questions on his selection before the Asia Cup and wanted Shreyas Iyer to get the opportunity ahead of him.
