India vs England 2nd T20I Highlights: Tilak Varma powers IND to victory in thriller

India vs England 2nd T20I Highlights: Tilak Varma almost single-handedly won the match for India

India vs England 2nd T20I Highlights: Tilak Varma didn't celebrate his half-century. He reserved those celebrations for the end of the match which came when he hit a four off the second ball of the last over and powered India to victory. Tilak finished unbeaten on an imperious 72 off 55 balls.

England's pacers kept India in check in the first 10 overs despite the hosts' batters looking to go big. Jofra Archer and Mark Wood did the job initially but Brydon Carse has since taken over and India are not being helped by them losing wickets frequently just when it starts to look like they have a grip on the chase of 166. Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav then smashed a few boundaries to seemingly put India back on top after the openers fell early but Brydon Carse's two strikes have kept the visitors within sight of a victory.

Six out of the seven Indian bowlers got a wicket earlier as England were restricted to a score of 165/9. England's inability to pick the Indian spinners was in the forefront once again. Arshdeep Singh and Washington Sundar struck in the powerplay after which Varun Chakravarthy sent back Harry Brook once again. Brook had blamed the smog for his dismissal in the last T20I but he couldn't pick Chakravarthy in Chennai either despite the lack of smog in the city.

Arshdeep dismissed Phil Salt in the first over once again and that brought England captain Jos Buttler early, as was the case in the first T20I. India have brought in Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel in place of Rinku Singh and Nitish Kumar Reddy, both of whom have sustained injuries. Mohammed Shami remains on the sidelines as Suryakumar Yadav won the toss and chose to bowl first in the second T20I.
