Jan 26, 2025

Tilak Varma once again proved his mettle under pressure, guiding his team to a thrilling victory with a match-winning knock of 72 off 55 balls in Chennai. Chasing a target of 166, Tilak showcased maturity, anchoring the innings and ensuring his side crossed the finish line against England in the second T20I. Reflecting on his performance, Tilak credited his approach to the message from his coach, Gautam Gambhir, and the dressing room. "Gautam sir told me in the last innings that when you need 10 runs in an over, you can do that too. When you need 7-8 runs, your role is very crucial. So, you need to stay till the end. No matter how you play, let the non-striker score. Your job is to get one or two boundaries in an over and take singles. If you stay till the end, we win the game," Tilak said on Star Sports' Amul Cricket Live show.
