India T20I vice-captain Tilak Varma addressed reporters in Auckland ahead of the fourth T20I against New Zealand, explaining how his prior captaincy roles prepared him for national leadership. Varma noted that his experience leading his state team across formats and captaining India A helped him step comfortably into his deputy role alongside newly appointed captain Shreyas Iyer.

The 23-year-old emphasized that clear communication with Iyer on the field has been key to their success. With India already having secured an unassailable series victory by winning the first three matches of the five-match series, Varma highlighted that discussing in-game strategies with Iyer continues to produce positive results.
