2nd T20I: Varma’s 72 Not Out Takes India To Thrilling Two-wicket Win Over England
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Tilak Varma sealed the deal for India by hitting a brilliant 72 not out and taking the hosts to a thrilling two-wicket win over England in the second T20I at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Saturday. The nail-biting win also gave India a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. After restricting England to 165/5 in 20 overs, India were quick off the blocks but were soon reduced to 78/5, thanks to the visitors’ bowlers taking scalps with absolute rockets.
Tilak Varma, who had a blazing start to his knock by then, switched his batting gear and handled the pressure well to get his first fifty in India, which he didn’t celebrate.
By using the pace of England’s bowlers to take the majority of his runs behind the square region, Varma showcased his remarkable temperament by keeping calm and batting with the tail-enders for company. He then hammered Jamie Overton through extra cover to complete the chase with four balls to spare, with Tilak ending the game unbeaten on 72 off 55 balls, laced with four boundaries and five sixes.
