England's innings: The opposition camp got caught in the spin trap

England batted first and scored 165 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in 20 overs. Captain Jos Buttler played a crucial innings of 45 runs, while Brydon Carse added 31 runs. Indian bowlers, especially the spinners, once again performed impressively. Axar Patel and Varun Chakraborty took 2-2 wickets and prevented England from reaching a big score.

Tilak Verma became the hero

The Indian team, which came out to chase the target, got off to a bad start. The top order disappointed, and half the team returned to the pavilion at a score of 78.

Tilak played an unbeaten innings of 72 runs in 55 balls and led India to victory in 19.2 overs. His innings included 6 fours and 2 sixes.

Jocular style of Gavaskar and Shastri

During the match, the performance of English batsman Harry Brook was a topic of discussion. Brook became a victim of Varun Chakraborty's spin for the second consecutive match. After the first match, Brook had told "smog" as the reason for his dismissal, but in Chennai too he was seen struggling against Chakraborty.

During the live commentary, Ravi Shastri quipped, "You don't need smog. This ball came straight in and hit the stumps." At the same time, Sunil Gavaskar laughingly said, "The light here is absolutely clear, there is no problem of smog."

India ahead 2-0 in the series
