Tilak Varma once again proved why he is the future of Indian cricket as the southpaw score brilliant 72 not-out to help India beat England in the second T20 by 2 wickets to take 2-0 lead in the five match series. Engalnd kept removeing batters from one end, but Tilak held his nerves till the take as India completed the chase of 166 runs in 19.2 overs in Chennai.    Earlier, India won the toss and invited England to bat first again. The visitors lost first wicket in the very first over as Arshdeep remioves Phil Salt on just 4. Ben Duckett (3) soon followed his opening partner as Sundar removed him in the fourth over. Jos Buttler (45) tried to stich partnerships with Harry Brook (13), Liam Livingstone (13) but Indian bowlers removed all three to reduce England to 90 for 5. Jamie Smith (22) and Brydon Carse (31) tried to revive the English innings but the visitors could only managed to reach 165 for 9 by the end of 20 over mark.  In bowling, Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel took two wickets each, while Arshdeep Singh, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar and Abhishek Sharma took one wicket each to keep pressure on England throughout the 20 overs. 
In reply, India lost their last match hero, Abhishek Sharma (12), early as he was trapped in front of the wicket by Mark Wood. Sanju Samson (5) soon followed his partner, with Jofra Archer removing him on a short ball for the second time in a row. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav (12) came in looking for a counter-strike and added 39 runs for the third wicket before being dismissed by Brydon Carse, as England reduced the hosts to 59 for 3 after the powerplay.
 
Carse struck again after the powerplay to remove Dhruv Jurel (4), before Jamie Overton clean-bowled Hardik Pandya (7) to pile on India’s misery. Washington Sundar (26), along with Tilak Varma, added 39 runs for the sixth wicket before becoming Carse’s third wicket of the night.
 
Indian vice-captain Axar Patel (2) was the next to depart as Liam Livingstone claimed his first wicket. India, with the help of Tilak Varma’s half-century, tried to edge England out of the match, but Arshdeep Singh (6) threw away his wicket, leaving India at 146 for 8. However, Tilak Varma (72 not out) kept his calm and added 20 unbeaten runs for the ninth wicket with Ravi Bishnoi (9) to take India over the line with 2 wickets and 4 balls to spare, giving India a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
