India have registered their second win in the five-match T20I series against England and have taken a 2-0 lead. It was a cliffhanger, which India won courtesy of youngster Tilak Varma's nerves of steel.

India won the toss ahead of the game and put England to bat. England did not have a great start to their innings. However, the middle-order and lower-middle-order batters made valuable contributions and took the team to a competitive total of 165/9 at the end of the 20 overs.

In the chase, India faltered initially and lost their openers early. Tilak Varma came out to bat at number three and started in a counter-attacking way. Wickets kept falling around him, but Varma stayed calm and propelled the team towards the target.

The game got to a tense stage, with India needing six runs off the last over with two wickets in hand. Tilak Varma stood tall and scored the required runs in the first two deliveries of the over, guiding India to a two-wicket win with four balls remaining in the game.
