Wanted To Take On Their Best Bowler Even When Wickets Were Falling, Says Tilak Varma
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Top-order batter Tilak Varma said his intention was always to take on England’s best bowler Jofra Archer and rattle the rest of the bowling line-up, as he led from the front to take India towards a thrilling two-wicket win in the second T20I at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Chasing 166, England reduced India to 78/5 and then 126/7, but Tilak's brilliant 55-ball knock, laced with four boundaries and five sixes, took India home with four balls to spare and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. The standout part of his knock was Tilak hitting Archer for 30 off nine balls, as the pacer ended with 1-60 in four overs, his worst T20I figures.
"If you see I want to target (England's) best bowlers. If you take on their best bowlers, other bowlers will be under pressure. So, (even) when the wickets are falling, I want to take their best bowler. It's easier for the (batter) at the other end also.
