Tilak Varma: The Hero For India In 2nd T20I
England’s bowlers, led by Brydon Carse (3/28) and Adil Rashid (1/14), were a tight unit; scoring opportunities never came easily for the batters. However, Tilak handled caution and aggression with a fair balance. Joined by Washington Sundar (26), the two steadied the innings until they had to depend on value contributions from lower order to near the target closely. With appropriate strike rotation, and confidence from the tail, Tilak Varma (72) finally guided India into a nail-biting finish, which they came out victorious. Earlier, England posted a competitive 165, with Jos Buttler top-scoring with 45 and Brydon Carse contributing a quick 31 in the latter stages. Despite their efforts, Tilak’s brilliance overshadowed the visitors, ensuring India secured a series win with an unassailable 2-0 lead.
