Varma scored an unbeaten knock of 107 runs off just 56 deliveries which was laced with eight boundaries and seven maximums in his innings. The southpaw scored runs at a whopping strike rate of 191.07 in the 3rd T20I of the series against South Africa here on Wednesday night which India won by 11 runs.
"I am very happy that I made a century in Centurion," Tilak said in a video posted by BCCI.
"I decided to have a new hairstyle; I had this long hair, and I got the 100 for the hair," he added with a smile.
Tilak's journey to this milestone was not without challenges.
"Recently, I was injured and could not play a few series. People were also saying that it would be difficult for me to come back again," he revealed.
"I believe in God. I got opportunities at the right time, and I scored the 100 at the right time, so I thanked God after scoring the 100," he added.
