IND Win By Two Wickets | India vs England 2nd T20I 2025 Highlights: Tilak Varma Guides India to Victory, Men in Blue Gain 2-0 Series Lead

India win the match by two wickets! And Tilak Varma has deservedly hit the winning runs here! What a knock from the youngster who has shown signs of having a special, special career! The southpaw has guided India past the finish line even with the team losing wickets at regular intervals. With this, India have gained a 2-0 lead in this series. Chasing 166, India were off to a good start but England kept hitting back with wickets consistently. But Tilak Varma kept his calm and played a special knock under pressure. The Chennai crowd applaud for the 22-year-old who has won it for India. England on the other hand, will take heart from this bowling performance and hope to bounce back in the third T20I, that will be played in Rajkot on January 28.

India need 13 runs off two overs and this match has become a tense one for both teams. For India, Tilak Varma is the key while Ravi Bishnoi too has played some confident shots. England on the other hand, will look to ensure that they don't leak these runs with misfields and poor deliveries.

OUT! England have struck as Arshdeep Singh finds the fielder in the deep. This chase is getting pretty tense now. India still need 20 runs off 18 balls and it is all on Tilak Varma now. Arshdeep Singh fell for the trap offered by England and India might panic here. Arshdeep Singh c Jofra Archer b Adil Rashid 6(4)

A total of 19 runs have come off the Jofra Archer over here with Tilak Varma and Arshdeep Singh ensuring that India are close to a win. India need 21 runs from 24 balls and with Tilak Varma striking it sweet, India are favourites.

FIFTY for Tilak Varma! A magnificent innings by the left-hander who has held one end strong while wickets have been falling at the other. He has played some delightful shots on both sides of the wicket and is key for India if they are to win here.

OUT! Liam Livingstone has struck and Axar Patel has been dismissed! The southpaw hit the ball straight to Ben Duckett and it was not needed at this point of time. India have lost their seventh wicket and it is all on Tilak Varma now. Axar Patel c Ben Duckett b Liam Livingstone 2(3)

OUT! India continue to lose wickets and it is Washington Sundar, who has fallen to Brydon Carse. The southpaw was beaten by the pace and length with the ball crashing into the stumps. England are on the front foot here and Brydon Carse is justifying his inclusion big time here. Washington Sundar b Brydon Carse 26(19)

18 runs have come off the 13th over in this match and India, despite the fall of wickets, have managed to remain in this run chase. Both Washington Sundar and Tilak Varma have played some good shots and now will look to take the team past the finish line. India need 53 runs off 42 balls!

OUT! Jamie Overton has struck with his first ball as he dismisses Hardik Pandya. Banged in short, Pandya attempted to hit it over the wicketkeeper but got an edge with Phil Salt making no mistake in taking the catch. India have lost five wickets now and continue to be under pressure. Hardik Pandya c Philip Salt b Jamie Overton 7(6)

OUT! India have lost another wicket and it is that of Dhruv Jurel, who hits it straight to Rehan Ahmed who takes a good catch. Brydon Carse has his second wicket and what an impact he is having in this match. India need another 100 runs to win from here on. Dhruv Jurel c (sub)Rehan Ahmed b Brydon Carse 4(5)

India and England have both managed to stamp their mark on this game in the powerplay. India have managed to score 59 runs but England have struck thrice, taking three crucial wickets, the last of them being that of captain Suryakumar Yadav.

OUT! India have lost a big wicket in the form of captain Suryakumar Yadav, who has played the ball onto his stumps. First with bat and now with the ball, Brydon Carse is making his presence felt big time here. The ball came to him quicker than what he thought and he ended up playing it on his stumps. Suryakumar Yadav b Brydon Carse 12(7)

Four overs have been bowled and India have scored 34 runs with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma in the middle. The two players will look to have a partnership and shift the pressure back on England. Two more overs left in the powerplay and they will look to make the most of it.

OUT! Jofra Archer has struck and he has dismissed Sanju Samson! The right-hander was struggling to find the middle of the bat and was undone by the pace once again as he found Brydon Carse in the deep. India have lost both openers and need a partnership here. Sanju Samson c Brydon Carse b Jofra Archer 5(7)

OUT! India have been struck with an early wicket and it is that of Abhishek Sharma! The fiery delivery from Mark Wood struck Abhishek Sharma on his pads and a DRS confirmed the on-field umpire's decision. Abhishek Sharma is devastated as he walks off and England have an early wicket.  Abhishek Sharma lbw b Mark Wood 12(6)

What a start this by Abhishek Sharma! He has started from where he left off in Kolkata. The southpaw took the attack to Jofra Archer and struck three boundaries in the first over. A good start from India and England will be under pressure if this onslaught continues for the next couple of overs.

England have finished with a fighting total here. The spinners, led by Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy once again were in good touch and it was a good overall performance from India. The bowling changes and field placements were on point as well and India will be happy to chase down this total. England would feel that they would be 10-20 runs short here but would be happy to get here despite losing wickets in heaps. We will be back with the chase soon!

OUT! Hardik Pandya has taken a wicket off the last ball of the 19th over as he finds the edge of Adil Rashid's bat. He has given away just six runs off his two overs and done a good job here. Adil Rashid c Sanju Samson b Hardik Pandya 10(11)

Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid are out in the middle and they will look to take England to a fighting total here. India have done incredibly well but need to close this innings on a high.

OUT! A run out was the last thing England would have wanted now and it is Brydon Carse who has to depart! The right-hander was involved in a miscommunication with Jofra Archer over the second run and Carse, who was looking so good, has to depart. Brydon Carse run out (Dhruv Jurel/Ravi Bishnoi) 31(17)
