**Chennai, India** – India secured a nail-biting two-wicket victory over England in the second T20I at Chennai, leveling the series 1-1. Tilak Varma’s impressive unbeaten 72 off 55 balls, featuring four fours and five sixes, steered India to a successful chase of 166. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, Varma’s composed innings proved the difference.
England, invited to bat first, managed a competitive 165 for 9. Jos Buttler continued his strong form with a 45-run knock off 30 balls, while Brydon Carse contributed a quickfire 31 off 17. However, the rest of the England batting lineup failed to make significant contributions. Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy were India’s most successful bowlers, each claiming two wickets. The series now heads to Rajkot for the third T20I.
