India secured a 90-run win in the second T20I at the Harare Sports Club on Saturday, July 25. They posted a mammoth total of 219/5 before bowling Zimbabwe out for 129. Tilak played an unbeaten knock of 60 off 29 balls, helping India seal the three-match series with one game to spare.
"If the team had to reach 219, Tilak Varma's contribution was necessary. You would turn back and say it's Zimbabwe. A guy can only score runs against whichever team is there in front of him. Batting down the order is not easy. Tilak tries to accelerate. He is doing his bit, and a little patience is required," Chopra said.
Tilak has an impressive record for India in T20Is. He has scored 1,634 runs in 55 innings at an average of 44.16 and a strike rate of 145.37, including two centuries and nine half-centuries.

"When two players get out early, it becomes slightly difficult. However, Ishan Kishan came after that, and he was looking very good for a century. Seventeen balls were still left when he got out," Chopra said.
Ishan shared a crucial 66-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer for the third wicket after India slipped to 29/2. He scored 81 off 44 balls and steadied the batting before Tilak Varma provided the finishing touch. The left-hander won the Player of the Match award.

"Had we had a good opening partnership, I would have asked Ishan not to be sent and Rinku to be sent instead because you have selected him and not given him chances thus far," Chopra observed.
After rebuilding the innings, Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma added 94 runs for the fourth wicket, helping India post 219/5. The visitors then bowled Zimbabwe out for 129 to seal the series with one match remaining.
