India batter Tilak Varma found himself at the centre of social media chatter after a light-hearted moment inside the Indian dressing room went viral following India's T20 World Cup warm-up match against South Africa. A video showed Tilak appearing visibly irritated as fast bowler Arshdeep Singh filmed him without permission while he was eating, prompting the left-hander to firmly ask Arshdeep to stop recording.
While the clip sparked widespread reactions online, the incident is widely believed to be a prank among teammates. Tilak recently featured in Arshdeep's YouTube vlog, and the two are known to share a close rapport, along with wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan, who was also present during the exchange.

Making his return to the Indian side, the 22-year-old produced a fluent 45-run knock against a strong South African bowling attack. Batting with confidence and freedom, Tilak scored his runs off just 19 deliveries, striking three boundaries and three sixes to underline his impact in the middle order.
