Tilak Varma Leads India to Narrow Win Over England in Second T20

India secures a 2-0 series lead in Chennai as Tilak Varma's unbeaten 72 anchors a tense chase against England.

India chased down England's target of 166 with four balls to spare, driven by Tilak Varma's composed and powerful 72 not out off 55 balls.
Brydon Carse stood out for England, contributing 31 runs off 17 balls, taking three wickets, and showcasing promise in his all-round performance.
England's bowlers, including Mark Wood and Jofra Archer, struggled to contain India's batters at key moments, with Archer conceding 60 runs in his four overs.
Jos Buttler led England's batting effort with a brisk 45, but the team faltered in the middle overs against India's spin-heavy attack, led by Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel.
The victory leaves England winless in the five-match series under new white-ball head coach Brendon McCullum, with the next match in Rajkot critical to keeping the series alive.
