IND vs ENG 2025: Top Performers After 2nd T20I in Chennai

On Saturday, Team India clinched a thrilling two-wicket victory over England in the second T20I in Chennai, securing a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, India kept England on the back foot with regular breakthroughs. England stumbled to 90/5 in 11 overs, replicating their shaky start from the first game. Skipper Jos Buttler stood tall for the visitors with a resilient 45 off 30 balls, while debutant Jamie Smith contributed a promising 31. England managed to post a competitive 165-run total, thanks to their lower-middle order.

Indian spinners were the stars of the first innings, claiming six wickets between them. Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy grabbed two wickets each, while Washington Sundar and Abhishek Sharma chipped in with one apiece.

Chasing 166, India endured a rocky start, losing three wickets during the powerplay and finding themselves at 78/5. Washington Sundar and Tilak Varma steadied the ship with a crucial 38-run stand for the sixth wicket. However, England kept the pressure on, and Liam Livingstone’s dismissal of Arshdeep Singh left India needing 20 runs with just two wickets in hand.

Tilak Varma held his nerve, anchoring the chase with an unbeaten 72, while Ravi Bishnoi provided solid support at the other end. Their unbroken 20-run stand for the ninth wicket ensured India’s victory with two balls to spare. Tilak’s match-winning knock earned him the Player of the Match award.

India now heads into the third T20I with momentum firmly on their side as they aim to seal the series.
