The Men in Blue have been in good form post the England series as they have not lost a T20I series under Shreyas Iyer. However, this five-match T20I series is a real test for the defending T20 World Cup champions as they are still looking for their first win in the SENA countries under Iyer’s captaincy.
The Southpaw failed to become the aggressor and was playing dot balls, which cost the wicket of Sanju Samson as well, as the pressure was mounting on the team as Varma was playing a lot of dot balls in the middle overs. He was dismissed soon after trying to be aggressive and was back for 6 runs off 11 deliveries without hitting a single boundary.
India eyeing epic run chase
India were off to a blistering start in the form of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma. Both were on song, as they stitched 93 runs between them inside the powerplay, as the Southpaw was dismissed for 29 off 12 deliveries, smashing three sixes and two fours. Sanju kept his runs going and scored 67 off 33 deliveries, hitting four sixes and double the boundaries.
Fans' reaction to Tilak Varma's failure
Tilak Varma is such a fraud, so so handicap against the spinners. Can't even score against hit on flat pitch of NZ where there is no assistance for spinners! Now, he played that knock against Pakistan again which will give him another 40-50 games. Never seen a batter so shit against spinners!

@Rajiv1841 Brainless decision to send Tilak in place of Ishaan who plays like Abhishek without slowing down the momentum and runrate. GG has keeda or an art of loosing the game from winning position with his Pathetic Disgusting strategies #NZvIND #INDvNZ @BCCI

Watching Tilak Varma bat reminds me of Dhoni every single time. Honestly, he is one of the worst batsmen I’ve ever seen in cricket. Anyone who isn’t blind will tell you that Tilak is a terrible batsman, but Rohit fans will hype him up just because Rohit likes him and he’s close to Rohit's family.

Why is Tilak Varma being pushed to No. 3 when he was doing really well down the order? Why fix something that wasn’t broken?
