First Time In T20I Cricket: Tilak Varma Scripts History, Breaks World Record Against England
Indian cricket team batter Tilak Varma scripted history with his match-winning knock during the second T20I encounter against England in Chennai on Saturday. Tilak slammed a brilliant 72 off just 55 deliveries with the help of four fours and five sixes to guide his team to victory. Thanks to the knock, Tilak became the first player in the world (among full member nations) to score 300+ runs in T20Is without getting dismissed. In the past four innings for India, Tilak scored 107 (from 56 balls) vs. South Africa, 120 from 47 balls against South Africa, 19, and 72 not out vs. England. Earlier, the record belonged to New Zealand's Mark Chapman who scored 271 runs before getting dismissed in T20I cricket.
