Tilak Verma was named player of the match for his exceptional performance. His century was the joint fastest century in MI history. Tilak Verma scored 26 runs on the ball of Ashok Sharma in the 18th over. MI scored 96 runs in the last six overs and helped Mumbai reach 199\/5 in 20 overs.<\/p>\n
After his sensational innings, former Mumbai Indians captain Sachin Tendulkar was amazed by his mental strength and his hitting ability. Sachin serves as an icon and mentor for Mumbai and has been associated with the franchise since 2008.<\/p>\n

Of course, the first 100 will always be special – Tilak Verma on his first century<\/h2>\n
Tilak Verma shares his insights after winning POTM in the game. He said, “Of course, the first 100 will always be special. It was very important for us. We don’t have much time from here. Every game is important for us. In the last five matches I did not get much time in the middle. So in this game I wanted to spend time in the middle.”<\/p>\n
