**Chennai, India:** India secured a thrilling two-wicket victory over England in the second T20I match played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The hero of the match was Tilak Varma, who smashed an unbeaten 72 runs off 55 balls, including four boundaries and five sixes.
Varma’s unbeaten innings is even more remarkable considering his incredible run-scoring streak since his last dismissal in a T20I. With 318* runs scored since his last dismissal on November 10th, 2024 against South Africa, he has broken the record previously held by New Zealand’s Mark Chapman (271 runs). This is the most runs scored by a full member team player between dismissals in T20I cricket. He surpasses other notable players like Aaron Finch (Australia), Shreyas Iyer (India), and David Warner (Australia) in this unique statistic.
The 22-year-old Varma’s unbeaten innings since his last dismissal include scores of 107*, 120*, 19*, and 72*. His last dismissal came against South Africa where he scored 20 runs before being bowled by Aiden Markram. His consistent performance and remarkable unbeaten streak have solidified his position as a rising star in Indian cricket. The nail-biting victory keeps the series alive, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion.
