The innings from the southpaw consisted of seven fours and a six. After getting out for ducks in the first two matches of the tournament, Varma smashed a fifty against Saurashtra. The 22-year-old missed out on a hundred by one run in his last outing, and he would be determined to score in triple digits at least once in the tournament.
