Had It In My Mind That I Would Play Till The End, Reveals Tilak Varma
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Following his match-winning 72 not out helping India take a 2-0 lead in the ongoing series against England, India’s top-order batter Tilak Varma reflected on the pressure-filled final overs of the chase, saying he always had it in his mind to play till the end and win the match.
Chasing 166 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, England reduced India to 78/5 and then 126/7, but Tilak hanged around to hit a brilliant 55-ball 72 not out, laced with four boundaries and five sixes. His superb efforts took India home with four balls to spare and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
"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.”
