The Eliminator match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is set to witness an intense battle between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Wednesday, May 24. Both teams have displayed great resilience to secure their spots in the top four of the IPL 2023. LSG has emerged victorious in their last three matches, while MI gained momentum during the latter half of the season. Additionally, MI received a stroke of luck when the Gujarat Titans defeated the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), allowing them to climb to the fourth position. Despite facing multiple injury setbacks throughout their campaign, MI has performed exceptionally well.

Notably, the young sensation Tilak Varma played a crucial role as their top batter in the initial matches before unfortunately sustaining an injury. He has been absent from the team since the game against the Punjab Kings on May 3, and his fitness status has been surrounded by suspense. However, there is good news as Tilak Varma appears to have made a complete recovery and regained full fitness.

While there has been no official announcement regarding this matter, Tilak Varma was listed as one of the substitutes in the previous game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Additionally, he was prepared to bat as he was seen padded up in the dugout, although he didn’t get the opportunity to go out to the crease due to Cameron Green’s exceptional century.

As the Eliminator match against LSG approaches, Tilak Varma could potentially continue in the role of an impact substitute, depending on the toss result. If MI is batting first, he is likely to be included in the playing XI and will be eager to make a significant impact on the game with his batting skills.
