Tilak Varma Shines as India Clinches Thrilling Victory Over England in Second T20I
Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 72 off 55 balls guided India to a thrilling two-wicket victory over England in the second T20I at Chennai, securing a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Chasing 166, India faced early setbacks, losing wickets at regular intervals, but Varma anchored the innings with composure, hitting four fours and five sixes. His crucial partnerships with Washington Sundar (26 off 19) and Ravi Bishnoi (9*) helped India cross the line with four balls to spare.
Earlier, England posted 165 for 9 after being invited to bat. Jos Buttler top-scored with 45 off 30, while Brydon Carse contributed a brisk 31 off 17. India’s spinners, Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy, picked up two wickets each, keeping England in check. Despite a late flourish from Carse, England fell short of a more competitive total.
The match saw moments of brilliance from both sides. England’s pace attack, led by Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, tested India’s batters with their express pace, but Varma’s calculated aggression and Bishnoi’s late cameo ensured India’s victory. England’s fielding lapses, including a dropped catch by Adil Rashid, proved costly.
India’s win was a testament to their depth and resilience, with Varma stepping up in a high-pressure chase. The series now moves to Rajkot for the third T20I, where England will look to bounce back.
