After Tilak Varma carried India home in a nail-biting second T20I against England at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Saturday, captain Suryakumar Yadav said he was very happy with the way the left-handed batter went about his business and gave some learnings to the team.
In the chase of 166, India were quick off the blocks but were soon reduced to 78/5, thanks to the visitors’ bowlers taking scalps with absolute rockets. Tilak, who had a blazing start to his knock by then, switched his batting gear and handled the pressure well to get his first T20I fifty in India, which he didn’t celebrate.
